Not sure if I had mentioned to you all, but right before leaving for my impromptu trip I had cleaned out my sewing studio. It was such a chaotic mess that I just couldn't stand it. It was a whole weekend endeavor. By Saturday night it looked like I had made it worse rather than better. Then Sunday rolled around and everything was put back in a new place.
The most shocking part of the whole "spring cleaning" was the number of u.f.o's I found. 14 in total! Can you believe it? Some of which I totally had forgotten about.
(Pictured below is only a small basket with 4 of the ufo's).
So I quickly had a new goal to accomplish. I HAD to finish some of the u.f.o's before starting anything!

Last night was my first chance to really get something done.
I started with the blocks I had received from my bee group Sew Fun! I arranged them on my fun new design wall and started sewing. I have the front design all figured out, but need to stop by IKEA for a little more of the gray sheet fabric to finish it off. I have 5 blocks left over that I already have an idea for to use on the back.
I also took out my pillow roll and finally made myself the pillow that I have wanted for a while. I am in love! It was perfect last night while I was watching TV in bed. Plus it only took me about 25 minutes to make.
I have taken this cute baby quilt out too. The top was already pieced together. It just needed a little trimming, which I quickly did. I am off to buy a little bit fabric for the back so that I can do some simple straight line quilting later this week.
I also have plans for some fun color blocks that can't be shown at the moment. They were demos for a project I have submitting for publication! I plan on turning them into a pillow. It will add some fun color to my sewing room.

I love fun and productive evenings!

Perhaps the DC Modern girls should have a UFO challenge? We count what we have, make a deadline and see how many projects we can complete? Maybe prizes too? Could be fun!
