Last of the ufo's
This is a scrap quilt that I started a a table cover several years ago. We no longer have that table and it would not fit our new table, hence it has transmorphed into a knee rug.

This little wallhanging I made up as I had bought these 9 little squares of Japanese fabric. I love all things Japanese. I didn't want to waste any bit of the fabric so decided to make them up in to this little hanging.
My two semi log cabin cushions, I quite like the way they turned out. I have a love affair with leaves especially the ginko which are on these cushions.
Finally the cream cushion is my completed block from a recent WOW RR that I did with some friends. The stitching is absolutely fabulous and it has pride of place on my bed.

If you having been reading Allies's blog see links you will see what this block should have been part of. It is part of 2004 Ribbonsmyth embellishment club which should have been a kimono. There were 6 blocks each done bimonthly then assembled at the end. For some reason two of my blocks turned out weird sizes and there was no way I could make them fit into the kimono shape. I have blogged finished pictures of the other blocks. After seeing pictures of Freda's finished kimino I wish I could have pulled it off. Her finished kimono is fantastic. It is also interesting to see others little personal touches, we were given a suggested stitch and embellishment guide but we all add our own little touches. Freda, your quilt is fantastic, please do start a blog.

Another one bits the dust, I am almost feeling virtuous. I resolve to finish things in the future!I mean sooner rather than later

A couple more ufo's.

It is such a good feeling knowing that you have accomplished something. Despite some design problems while assembling they turned out ok. I just have a little hand stitching to finish off.
As usual I have learnt a lot in the process of finishing these blocks, as always though, it is learning from my mistakes.
In future, I am going to think a lot more about a block of whatever before starting. In future I think I will decide and design the project before I start. I can hear you saying, well duh!!! isn't that what you should do? Needless to say I don't always plan ahead. Good lesson to learn and I am glad to learn these things.
As they say, it is never to late to learn. Thank goodness we do keep on learning, such fun!!!

Just wanted to say thanks for the lovely comments. It is heart warming to receive them.
I won't tell you how old this UFO is, suffice it to say that it is a few years. Infact, I had left it so long that I could no longer find tiny bits of materials to make the three points at the top of the stocking. Especially the red.I could find the others. Eventually I found an other pieced block that had a sliver of the red which I was able to cut up to get a little to use. Unfortunately I had to make the points smaller just to get enough. Needless to say, I think I have learnt a lesson - Finish projects or at least keep all your supplies together.
This was a Ribbonsmyth embellishment kit and I am really pleased with the finished result. At the top of the stocking you might be able to see two of Terry's glass icicles. www.myglassgarden.com I love Terry's creations and these two beauties came with the kit. I can now put it away for Christmas.
I love getting things finished, such a sense of achievement. Only thing now is that I have every single scrap of fabric that I own all over the floor, large and small. That will have to wait until tomorrow now, it is bedtime
