Victory Celebrations are in order...

 this morning, and a HUGE bouquet of Queen Anne's Lace for Michele,With Heart and Hands. She has completed her 10 chosen UFOs and a whole bunch more! Michele has been playing in our New Years Eve UFO Countdown Challenge. Her chosen number of UFOs to finish was 10...which really shocked some of us. Quite the storm of additinal challenges rose up out of that number 10! At last count, I believe, 13 additional quilts will be made to benefit organizations of the makers choosing!! Clare couldn't resist Michele's goal, and jumped in with 9 projects promised, but on a different timeline...LOL. I'm so very proud of all your hard work Michele, and I know most of it is for donation...awesome!!
 And we need additional bouquets of flowers for Julie, Barn Quilter, and Roz, of Counterpane. Julie has met her goal of 3 UFO's and finished an additional 8 small quilts for gifts. If I'm not mistaken, I don't think she's done yet...LOL. Roz met her goal of 1 UFO finish this week, and probably will continue to finish up more! Way to go gals! Everyone's a winner!!!
 As for me, my play time this morning needs a change, so I pulled out the container with 6.5" log cabin blocks. I got 14 more sewed up and trimmed. Now I will put them neatly back in their container and put them away til next time. I am happy to find this many weeks into my "return mojo high", that I feel the same drive and desire to have this old stuff done. I've hung in there pretty well in the "no new starts" department and with some success behind me, maybe I can ride it out. I was sorely tempted to take on Bonnie's new Mystery, and even pull fabric for it, but talked myself out of starting, and quietly put the fabric away again. I think there's hope for me yet...LOL

Way to go on those finishes! Guess I better start working on that donation quilt...

I have finished one quilt from my list of UFO's! If I stop decorating the house maybe I can finish at least one more....

I'm here to report my first finish for my NYE challenge: "Cookies & Lemonade" is quilted and bound and ready to be given away. Yippee!

Oh you! No wonder I received a couple of emails congratulating me on finishing all 10. Here, I was thinking it was a big secret between me, you, and Clare!

I had to tell Clare, so she could get her game face on. Go, Clare, go!!!

I knew you'd put me in the sidebar by the 1st as planned...and yes, I did get the binding hand sewn on #10 the night before!

According to Magpie Sue, I'm now the designated 'Over Achiever'. HA. And no, I'm not done, yet. They might be small things, but Finn has me on a roll, now! Let's see jewelry rolls, jelly rolls, rock 'n roll, stop-drop-and rolls....I'll think of more projects;)

WTG ladies on finishing the projects. I think I'd better get working on my Q4L quilt as well because I'm suspecting Clare will have hers done before too long.

Also thanks Finn for having the challenge. It's continues to be awesome!! Hugs

Clare said...

I suppose I had better move up to 5th gear!

Congratulations to MIchele.

Those ladies rocked it out! O.k. everyone, the bar has once again been set high. But it's good, I need to see that to put the fire under me!

Crud - just when I think I'm zeroing in on a quilt pattern/idea, there's another one I would LOVE to do, your handsome half log cabin! I can't make them all - we need a decision-making-program!!!

My Mojo has still not returned from vacation.
Every time I see Ebby, she looks more beautiful!!
