Back in September, in this post, I accepted a New Year's Eve challenge from Finn. I set a goal of finishing 6 projects before the calendar changed to 2009. Up until now I've not completed a single project - instead making progress on several. The specifics of the challenge were left up to each of us to decide for ourselves - what defined a UFO and what constituted a finish. They could be any sort of UFO's - they didn't have to be quilty. So, with that in mind, I'm counting several finishes for the New Year's Eve challenge.
1. Ghoulies and Ghosties pillow - stitchery done in 1965, originally intended for framing
2. Thanksgiving cross stitch pillow - stitchery done in the late 70's or very early 80's. Once I started quilting in earnest I stopped doing cross stitch.
3. Four springtime pillows, made from four friendship blocks, given to me in 1992 and originally intended for a quilt.
4. Three Christmas pillows, made from six friendship blocks, given to me in 1995 and originally intended for a wall hanging.
Thanks so much for the challenge, Finn - I'm sure these wouldn't have been completed without it!

Great job on all the finishes. Now I am watching for the 25 flimsies to be quilted. I'll be over to help with the binding!
Hi Patti, congratulations! That's a wonderful amount of older stuff finished. I'm still really happy that I didn't specify what a UFO was. To me the O part of UFO stands for OBJECT, stitching, knitting, etc certainly qualify. *VBS* And more people could join us quilters that way also. I'll hop right over and mark you down for 4!!! Fantastic! Hugs, Finn
You are going like the wind Patti :-)
I love all your small finishes!!! What a GREAT way to use a variety of blocks - that will get used in your house!!! You have inspired me to look through my blocks pile and see if I can come up with some co-ordinating pillow ideas too. Great job!
Cheers!

Bravo .... isn't it just great to be done with some UFO's and crossing them off a list is even better!
