Bustin Out

On Saturday morning we are leaving for a 5 day camping trip. I am so excited. I love camping, and this time we are camping with my family, which is a rare treat. I packed a few hand-appliqué pieces from my Christmas Sampler UFO, and will be working on those. I may or may not also pack my Bliss UFO, on which I am finally hand-stitching the binding. I don’t want it to get dirty, or rather, dirtier, but am excited to finally get this quilt finished!


Hopefully, next week when I link up with my fellow UFO Busters I’ll have a finish to show!

Will you be working on any UFOs this weekend? Grab a few hours and bust one of those lingering UFOs! Pick one now, snap a picture, and link up with Thearica at Pigtales and Quilts. Look what I won last week:


Awesome! I can’t wait to start playing with these appliqué shapes. Thanks Thearica!

This week I won’t be playing in the UFO Weekend Party. So sad. No internet or electricity where I’m going! Have a great weekend everyone!

  3. Have a fun time! I think I need a camping trip too to get away from the frustration of a computer that doesn't work.

  6. Hope your trip is great! Good idea to take some hand-applique pieces to work on. When I was cross-stitching a UFO near the beginning of the Challenge, I found that the least little increment of time really added up to completing the piece! I hope you get a lot done and have fun away.

  8. Hi Jen..I tried to not post "anonymous" but just could not get Blogger to sign me in yesterday! Gah...
    I hang with a 35 yr. old sewer/quilter in RSVL, so I do get up there often. We will have to do lunch or coffee eh?
    Have a good campout!
