Another UFO…

Well..I hate to be the one to break it to you but tomorrow is DECEMBER 1st!!  Yup!!  Now tell me, how did THAT happen?  BUT not to worry, you have 25 whole days to get ready for Christmas!!  For me I have 7..as in SEVEN DAYS!  We are having a family get together next weekend on the 7th and 8th before we leave on the 11th.  The good news is…all the presents have been bought, they just need to be wrapped.  A bit of baking needs to be done, I have a ladies pot luck dinner on Tuesday, along with a pedicure in the morning, Heritage on Monday, a wedding on Wednesday and I have GOT to squeeze my sister in there somewhere!  You hear where I am heading…I will be carted off in the RV wearing a straight-jacket!!  :o))
The sad news is…I’m going to have to shut down the Sewing Room…:o((  I’ve been doing tons of sewing…but nothing I can show you…yet!!  Thanks goodness for friends!
Yesterday, Sharon (from Victoria) read my post on finishing up the Deceased Quilter’s UFO…  she just HAD to share the project that she bought at the same Quilter’s Estate Garage Sale and finished!!  Yes, I met Sharon at the GS…in fact she is the one who had emailed me to tell me about the sale!
Just LOOK at what Sharon (and Diana- the deceased quilter) created!! Spectacular!

WOW!!

If you remember, Diana had about 500+ UFOs…YES, you read correctly…that is NOT a typo!!  There were bags and bags and bags and bags of fabric with 2 or 3 blocks inside and at every GS more bags were added!  I think there were about 8-10 GSs in total!
Sharon did an awesome job of resurrecting this quilt!!  I’m sure that there was a quilter ‘up there’ cheering Sharon on!!

Sharon also bought of bag of fabric and turned it into a Sunshine Block which she is donating to the “Sunshine for All” quilt.  This is a quilt project that was started by an Australian man who is battling cancer.  It sounds like Sharon is going to be hand delivering it to him while in Australia!
While on the plane, Sharon is planning on hand stitching the rest of these blocks…23 more to go!!  Diana would be SEW proud!

Yup…isn’t it wonderful how Diana’s UFOs are taking shape…and by complete strangers!  Quilters are the best!!  Thanks for sharing, Sharon!!  You are going to have some wonderful quilts when you are finished!!  And have fun in Australia!
