May Challenge - Finish Something
Hi everyone, welcome to the May challenge. This month the challenge is to dig out your UFO's (UnFinished Objects) and finish something this month! I think we all need to have this goal once in a while. Post below your plans for what you will finish this month!

Had 2 days off in a row this week. Meant to work on this list and some gardening stuff. Instead I get my first attempt at a roman shade for the kitchen window done. Need to pull it back down and quilt it so the front and back stay together.

Just updating in case I look back..... cotton blanket is mostly mended..... couple places could add reenforcement, and Im pretty sure somebody snagged another place. Most of the wall hanging got cut, just need to finish the fussy cutting and figure out the wonky bits. And I just marked the half square triangles tonight. Will have to get the iron out next day its ciol.

@Kelley Phelan oh, that is awesome! I need to be working on pattern alterations and I just keep picking up half square triangles that need pieced. 🤣 I mean, as much as half square triangles can be a need when my bras are falling apart and I don't have replacements. 🫣 lol. And I have fabric for a new shirt once the bras get done. Just need to finish the pattern.

@Karen Dupaix ohhh, I don't know. Work has picked up and I basically get home and collapse, but instead of picking something up I either fall asleep or stare at a screen. My stitching keeps me sane though, so I need to do something. I'm struggling to finish quilting a lap quilt, it is probably a week from being done if I'd pick it up and do a little each day. I started but didn't finish cutting my next quilting project, and it didn't make it back in bags, so now I need to find everything because my cats have slid stuff off the table twice. I have a crochet bag that just needs leaves to be finished (my first colorwork project, it is a strawberry with a bunch of scrap yarns). And then I have a couple mending projects that need finished. Mending in May could work. Or May Mending Mayhem? Once I pass the Mending projects the piles are bra making and pattern adjusting.

@Janet Eddy how is the double wedding ring going? I havent done any EPP, but it seems like maybe a good option for some of the more elaborate patterns.

I learned how to piece half square triangles! Not sure what Ill use my practice pieces for, but I am starting to cut fabric for a wall hanging that requires half square triangles for a good chunk of the quilt pattern. :) OH, and I guess I learned how to fussy cut motifs out of fabric too..... but that is not going tk be a normal thing.... way too much waste and not enough patience. 🤣
