This is what is on my Design Wall this Monday morning. This project is called Old Saint Nick. The redwork Santa has been stitched for awhile - ok for several years. The inside checkerboard border has been attached, too. But for some reason I worked a little on the triangle border and then I would put it back into a baggie and just couldn't seem to get past it. After working on another project with similar borders and seeing how close I was to finishing this project, I was able to put the outside pieced border on this wall hanging and finish the top. I know it is still a UFO, but I think anything that you can do toward moving a project from one step of the process along toward completion and a finish is going in the right direction.
I hope all of you are finding some time to do some stitching today and that you are moving some of your UFOs toward a finish. Have a nice day!
Dear LuAnn,

I love the redwork project! And I totally agree...anything done to move the project towards completion is a good thing!
ReplyDeleteSweet quilt. It is so nice to get a UFO done to enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteLike the Santa...and the fact you can still find him after several years, as well as the magazine...guess you kept it all together....
ReplyDeleteThat is a beauty. I love anything embroidered within a quilt, and especially redwork.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful redwork and quilt! I bet you get it done by Christmas and then it won't be a UFO anymore.
ReplyDeleteVery nice
ReplyDeleteIt is a pity that we do not have such a good quilting books.
I love redwork. Red and white are one of my favorite combos. Your quilt is really pretty. Glad you were able to work out your border issues.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on making great progress. Moving any project along to the next step is always such a huge accomplishment. It will be finished before you know it. re
ReplyDeleteYou sure are moving in the right direction! Looks wonderful and I LOVE the checkerboard border.
ReplyDeleteOh boy I do love a cute red and white quilt! I also love the border treatments...great little quilt LuAnn!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great Santa! I love Santas, and he's a really special one, I'm glad you brought him out to work on again.
ReplyDeleteI love how the border adds so much to the quilt. Isn't it satisfying to work - even if it's just a bit - on a project that's been languishing for a while?
ReplyDeleteGreat job! You are right, any steps you take toward moving to completion are great! They help you get forward momentum! It looks fantastic. I love all the redowrk!
