UFOs - finished - hurrah!!

We all have UFOs - our minds work overtime (well mine does) while working on one project, we are already thinking of that project we saw in a magazine, or dreamed up in our heads, or that wonderful new fabric we saw (or bought).  But how to finish them all....  Have surgery and 6-8 weeks of taking it easy!!

This table centre is made from jelly rolls, and I had been putting off doing the binding.  Finally took the bull by the horns and added pink binding (cut on the cross to make it easier) and am really glad of the finished product.  Looks good in the kitchen.....  It came from a pattern by American Jane - go here to look at their patterns.   http://americanjane.com/


I have been working on this painting since attending a workshop with Chris Whipper a few months ago.  No chance to finish it - but now I think it is finished.   I have enjoyed the journey, and look forward to hubby framing this piece.  It is quite large and we have lots of really old large skirting boards which I love using for framing - they are white, chipped and cracked but look amazing as frames for paintings. 


This teapot was a workshop piece at a conference I attended last year (yes not finished) and all it needed was oiling to seal it.   It's done! 

Well, I still have a few to go, but having to take it easy for awhile I have been able to finish a few.  Know what's good about this?  I can start NEW ones!!
