A Little Autumn in the Kitchen

I thought the kitchen needed some autumn on the walls since the table has these.



So, one of my purchases last Sunday at Joanns was a panel with 5 thanksgiving recipes on it. I cut it apart, added some sashing to 3 of them for this wall hanging and plan to make some hot pads with the other 2.



Picture quality isn't too good since i left my camera in the car overnight and it was still cold when I took this shot.

This one is my first finish for Finn's New Years challenge that I joined. I'm hoping to finish 7 projects before the end of the year..

New Year's Challenge FINISHED!

I realized today that I have finished all eight of my UFO projects for Finn's New Year's Challenge.

1. Welcome Wall Hanging
2. Pink and green Baby Quilt - OTQG Camp Mystery Quilt
3. Quilt Smart Apple Core Quilt
4. Sock Monkey Quilt for NICU
5. Mini-Charmer Bags(2)
6. Orange JudyL's Labor Day Challenge Quilt
7. Jeff and Dané's Wedding Quilt
8. Christmas Star Table Runner (Quilterscache.com)

Now, let's see if I can get a couple Christmas presents finished!

A New Years UFO Finish

I quilted and bound this little wall hanging on Tuesday so that I could take it to Rossville Quilts for show-&-tell last night at BOM night. I purchased the pattern from them and they were tickled to see a finished product. I am counting this as one of my UFO finishes for Finn's New Years Challenge over at Pieces of My Scrapbag.

With this one done, I only have 7 more to finish by the end of the year. The UFOs I have picked for this challenge aren't the ones listed on my sidebar, which were started before the beginning of 2008. The ones for this challenge are ones that I have started this year. I know you are probably thinking, "Why would a person start 8 new projects when they began the year with over 30 UFOs?" I dunno, they just caught my eye and I thought I had to make them. But, I'm on my way to finishing them up.
