17ufosin2017 final update & Happy New Year

Well 2017 is done and dusted and keeping up my track record I've just tipped over into January. I've really enjoyed Meredithe & Anne's challenge which has been a great source of motivation for me.

FINISHES:

#1 The Comfort Quilt


#2 Chester County Criswell Quilt


#9 Sew Laugh Love


#13 Cushions


#15 Boro coasters



#17 Knitted scarf



PROGRESSIONS small and large:

#3 Reading the Fine Print - a few more blocks to go


#4 Value Proposition Quilt completed the top


#6 Cheltenham - a very long term project


#8 Words to Live By completed the top


#10 Sovereign - up to working on the stars for the 2nd border


#11 12 Days of Christmas stitching the second border


#12 Aunty Green I'm going to hex this up


#16 Home Sweet Home There's No Place Like Home almost finished sewing down the binding


DIDN'T TOUCH:

#5 Vases of Flowers

#7 Dear Jane

#14 Simply Blessed designed by Rosalie Dekker who very sadly recently passed away. This will definitely be on next year's as my tribute to her passion and creativity.


In summary, 6 finishes, 8 progressions and 3 didn't touch - I'm really happy with that! 
Thank you for your encouragement throughout the 2017 challenge and I look forward to participating in this year's. 

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and all the best for '18.

With apologies to Sally @ Feather on a Wire who created a much better image!

  3. Fabulous! Well done you, Carole. Great finishes and wonderful progress. Best wishes for 2018. (Great idea to make that project a tribute to Rosalie - I have a couple of her stitcheries and just might do the same.)
