I finished this little wall hanging last week. It's just 24" x 24". It's been in my UFO's for years. In fact, this pattern and partial kit was dated 1995. Yeah.... it's been in my pile-o-stuff to finish for 20 years! I don't know why I get distracted and don't finish projects. This only took a few days. One to cut the pieces....one to piece it.....one to quilt it.....and one to bind it. Of course, this was only working on it a couple of hours at a time. I suppose it could have been completed in one day if you stuck with it.
The pattern and kit came with about 2/3's of the fabrics needed to make the hanging. I'm not sure why it didn't contain all of the fabric. The fabric was nicely folded and looked undisturbed so I don't think I ever removed any of it for another project. Oh well. So if you recognize a few pieces of newer fabrics....not 20 years old.... that's why.
The backside. I used some of the included fabric as well as some added from my stash.
This is a little goodie that I picked up at the Hallmark store in the drastically reduced bin. It's a Boyd's Bear little hinged box and they were almost giving it away. I love little sewing items for my sewing area.
This inside held this cute little sewing mouse.
Here's the sweet quote that was under the lid.

Happy Sewing. Hope you find a UFO that calls your name this week too. It felt really good to actually finish this cute little hanging!
I bet it felt really good to be finished with that 20 year old UFO....ACCOMPLISHMENT !
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feeling it must have been to finish that after 20 years...love it! I need to dig out some of my UFO's, though none of them are that old (but they may be eventually if I don't hurry and finish them.) Cute find at the Hallmark store!
