I recently posted about finishing up yet another UFO (un-finished object) in my sewing room...
Marie aka Churunga, came up with a great idea...
A UFO Challenge...
So I am on board...
What if we post 'here' what one of our UFO's will be completed in 2015, and then post a photo of it completed...
We have a whole year to complete one (or more) and there is no stress to hurry, just a challenge to finish one..
It can be a simple little 'kit' project purchased at a store or something challenging, sewing, crafting, quilting, knit/crocheting... well you get the idea...
Mine will be to make a fun whimsical laptop Christmas Quilt...
Here is my fabric to start...
Wish me luck!
I have my squares cut,,, next to stitch up and then cut up, to make into a disappearing 9 patch... unless I change my mind! lol!

so far, it's, yellowrose, atkins2, churunga and myself...
any other brave 'sisters' want to join in?
Time to pull out that project that has been stashed away for what ever reason...
I most likely will start, after Jan. 5th, when things have calmed down... unless I get a moment between now & Santa's visit to clear a pathway into my sewing room... HoHoHo!

I don't post pictures, but I will keep y'all up to date on what I am doing with the merit badges as I earn them. So far I have four badges and within weeks I hope to summit four more.
The badges will be used for different projects, so I am looking at a year's worth of work/fun.
One of the crafty things I want to finish is emblemizing a bird house with small brewery bottle caps. Been collecting the caps for years but have yet put them on the bird house.

Sara, cool idea w/the bottle caps...
as for the badges/patches... you could make one of those burlap banners, or lace or hankies or what ever, and attach 1 patch to each individual pennant...
borrowed this banner from a MJF girl sister...

Grace, I like the banner idea. It would work with Garden Gate badges as a window swag over the 'garden' cabinet in laundry room. I need easy to do, and that should be easy enough for my 'cut & paste' type of sewing.
Brainstorming, I came up with making a mobile to hang in my laundry room that I can see from the kitchen. Cleaning Up & Farm Kitchen badges should work with that.
Thanks Grace, you got my mind a whirl with designing ways to use the badges. First thing first I need to get busy and earn some more.

It seems as if there are a couple different threads on this subject. Grace can you make a "complete your UFOs in 2015" thread in the Stitching & Crafting Room to consolidate the goals of all of us joining the challenge to reduce our UFOs. Maybe it can start with a confession about how many we have and how old the oldest one is. That would be entertaining.
