I've been thinking about our UFOs again… I have plenty of them, although in my case some are simply part of the way I work — ideas get explored, samples get made, projects change direction and sometimes something new comes along before the last thing is finished! But I've been wondering whether we could get a little more creative control over the chaos — without turning our sewing into another job. So I'm playing with an idea, and I'd love a little help from my Studio Corner people. Imagine you pull out a project you haven't seen for six months (or six years!). What would you really like to find tucked in there with it? What would help you remember where you were up to, what you needed, and — perhaps most importantly — get you excited about deciding where to next? It doesn't necessarily have to mean finishing it as originally planned. Maybe it needs a new direction altogether! I'm curious — what would actually help you?

My friend Barbara turned 90 on September 7th. She was given a quilt top by her sister that was hand-pieced by her grandmother, ca 1910. She allowed me the privilege and honor of quilting it. I added a small border of tiny blue gingham then added the other border which is the same as the backing. I gave it to her at a surprise birthday party. Pictures are attached.
