Finishing Projects So I Can Finish My UFO's!

I'm trying to finish some unfinished projects. Only they are not mine! I'm doing this so that I can finish mine---does that make sense? I want a clear slate to clutter up with my UFO's! Last week I finished another "Martha Quilt", and this week I finished the quilting on my friend Barbara's beautiful batik wallhanging.

This quilt had been waiting on me. It's after the holidays, and no excuses. So it's done. Yaaaah! Now---onward!

Maybe now I can really-truly challenge myself to finish some of my own projects. That is why I joined the "One Project a Month Challenge". It looks like I will have more than enough projects for the coming 12 months---maybe more. I opened plastic bins, dug in the closet where I keep tops that need quilting. Have you did this? It was a surprising to actually see the projects that I have never finished. Some of which I had not looked at for years! Oh-My!

Today I finished the Bunco Coaster Set for my daughter-in-law. I'm sending them off to her tomorrow. Hopefully she won't see this post. These are a embroidery designs from Aunty M All done in the 5" x 7" embroidery hoop. She and her friends love to play Bunco. I hope she will enjoy these. I hunted for a cute round basket to present them in, all I could find was this unfinished wood holder at Michael's Crafts. A bit of dark green paint! and it works! I found the cute Dice buttons at Etsy.com. Hot glue and stick on lettering added the final touch!
