The gum tree girls chitter chatter all day every day - We are soul sisters you see..........Our conversation has recently turned to unfinished projects - I think shamefully I may have the longest list............................ Dawnie calls it "Not Finishing Disease" I quite like that term - Maybe I can list it along with all of my other ailments? LOL I also like the term UFOITIS - Gives it a bit of "professionalism" don't you think?
Regardless of the term it is rather naughty....... The picture above is the beginning of another new doily design - Stitched but laying there unfinished...... My mission today is to finish some unfinished projects.
I do have excuses though...... Who could possibly kick this fellow of the cutting table whilst he is sunbaking? Meet Dreamer........................ For Grays Anatomy fans he is named after McDreamy - He has those eyes !!!!!
And look here 3 distractions !!!
Nevertheless I have started well this morning. This is a quilt I designed last year "Bunny Crossing". It just needed the final borders stitched on which I completed this morning. On Monday I will send it up to my friend Sarah who will work her quilting magic on it.Please excuse the photo. Everytime I go to photograph a quilt it is windy and way too sunny but I just wanted to show you today's first finish. (You can see the shadow of all of my seams - quite eerie really)
It is made from HUSHABYE - Lovely soft pastels.....So what are you doing today? Are you going to join me in searching for a cure for this dreadful quilting disease?

Hugs - Lurline♥
PS - sounds like some dreaded disease that is highly contagious!
Love the Hushaby Fabric looks Beautiful in your Quilt..Especially with the White strips...
cheers
^^ 謝謝你的分享，祝你生活永遠多彩多姿！........................................
Love your quilt Fee. The seams shadows and the crosses make the blocks look like stain glass windows in a church. Very beautiful! I have those sort of distractions too.. but how can you resist them? Have a great day xx
UFOitis seems to be very wide spread - glad I'm in good company.
Pretty quilt and cute distractions in the sewing room.
Enjoy your weekend and good luck with those projects.
*gasp* Not only do I have that disease, I also have one of those distractions! Maybe this affliction is more common than we think. *G*
Lovely, lovely quilt Fiona - good for you! I'll be working on my disease Sunday.....
Love the cats name"Dreamer" and yes I can see the resemblence.
what a beautiful finish too.
Like you I am procrastinating and not getting my UFO done. I must get off the computer and sew.
I looking forward to Monday to see what you lovely ladies have got for us.
Enjoy your weekend.
I love the picture with the sun shining through the fabrics! Sorry to have missed your birthday. I can see you enjoyed celebrating such a milestone! I could probably rival you with UFO's, and almost every day I try something else new! But, they do eventually all get finished. Have a wonderful weekend. ~karen
I sure hope they don't come up with a cure for UFOITIS because I'm having to much fun!!!
Wonderful finish Fee! I kind of like the seam shadows, reminds me of a stained glass window. Very easter-ish and quite lovely! Thanks for sharing a peek with us! Love the color combinations of this quilt! I too have a touch of UFOitis. Sometimes you just get stuck with a quilt design, and toss it to the side. Then one day you pull it out of hiding, and "WALLA" the enigma is solved, and a finish becomes achievable. Good luck with this pretty little quilt. I look forward to seeing your doily also! -Cori
belated Happy Birthday Fiona, looks like it was well and truly celebrated.
UFOitis is such a catching spready thing don't you think???
DONT get me started on UNFINISHED projects...
I AM THE QUEEN of such...!!!
I probably could write a book on it...(not quilting..)....
BUT knitting...cross stitch...embroidery...unpainted items...
GGGRRR!!!
xx andrea
I too have a nasty case of not being able to finish things....
Oh well...one day :o)
I am afraid I have UFO-itis as well....such a dreaded disease!!!...I think I have more things started than finished....I hope they find a cure soon!!!!
sugary hugs always
XX Wendy :O)
I love the photo of your quilt top hanging on the line, blowing in the breeze! I hang quilts on the line to photograph all the time, it'S perfect! Yes, I'll be joining you today. I had some friends come to visit me yesterday, a long journey of driving, spending the night in town, then taking our ferry over to my island. While here, I was showing my many tops and unfinished projects... so yes, today I will join you in finishing something. Thank you for sharing...
