UFOs, Bonnie Hunter and Me

I am hoping that UFOs will be a major project of mine this year. I easily have 50 or 65.  Lots of tops that just need doing.  Most are from years ago when it was too expensive to send them out and I had no way to quilt them at home.  As my machine power grew (and grew to the Avante) I began to complete the quilts.   But they have backlogged.  Most are no longer my preference and don't seem so important, but they still need to be quilted or used in a different way.

I have to make two united quilts for my new vibrating bed.  It is so large (and I like the separateness of two quilts since Frank is a cover hog) that I need two long,  thin quilts that each have half the pattern.  Yes, I like that idea.  Now to start it.

Bonnie Hunter - I have completed the first and second step. She probably is on Step 42 by now.  I want to finish it, it is just coming too fast.  And at Christmas time no less.  I am sure lots of others are in the same boat.  I need to work on step 3 this week.

Quilt the Swamp - will need to be competed in two weeks.  Or less.  One week.  The Oil Derrick is nearly complete and ready to quilt.  I did, however, do a small map quilt that I will enter as well.  It is testing my early skills in map making.  However, after looking at numerous "accomplished" artists online, in SAQA exhibits and  in magazines, I think it will pass as fiber art!  OMG there is some stuff out there.  It seems if you have a SAQA membership and can throw fabric on a base, you can sell it for $750.  I need to get me some of that.

Cleaning up the quilt room - is an ongoing project.  Why didn't you make me clean it up 3 years ago?  Why did I buy fabric?  What is all this stuff?  Why did I think I wanted to save ever blasted thing I ever saw?  Why did Oswald kill Kennedy?  Was it a Mafia Connection or just Russian?

These are questions I must ask the Universe.
