Pat Sloan's blog today challenged us to a mission involving UFO's. Not the kind that fly around in the sky, but those unfinished objects in our quilting rooms. This morning I gathered and sorted my UFO's into piles--at Pat's suggestion as she guides us in this process.
Here are three of my piles. The first pile just needs to have bindings finished. One is soooo close, just ten inches left to stitch. The middle pile is ready to be quilted or in the process of being quilted.. The final pile is waiting on borders.
Now these are the projects in various stages of piecing, not including the one on my design wall currently and the wildflower applique I have going- oh and did I mention I started a small fall quilt yesterday inspired by some quilting gals in a quilt bloghop last week. A couple of these are for a class I am taking, and another two are block of the months. But the others...I think I need to work on finishing one before getting pulled in by another, so I am very thankful for Pat's encouragement in this area.
A huge blessing that came yesterday is the result of the benefits of being a college professor's wife- free stuff when the college is upgrading. My dear hubby came home with a drafting table. If I had the space I would have taken two, one for drafting patterns and the other for the purpose I had in mind.

After a few hours work the hardware is removed from the top, two layers of batting and a layer of muslin are applied and voila...
a pressing table is born. Finally I can iron a yard of fabric without all the repositioning. The height adjusts and it folds up when I need it out of the way. I love it!
Now back to those UFO's that are waiting in my studio.
