UFO ROLL CALL- APRIL 2012

UFO Roll Call

During the first few days of each month in 2012, I will open a new Linky party post.  It will be open all month long to make sure everyone gets the chance to link up and share their new handmade creations.   

Please plan to join in on the fun by linking up posts and sharing images of the sewing and quilting projects you've been working on during the month.  This is a great opportunity to finish up all those UFOs and to start new projects too.  I plan to complete one project each month and the UFO Roll Call will be where I go to post my progress and look for ideas. 

This blog party is open to both quilting and domestic sewing projects and is a great place to show off your next homemade apron, your blue ribbon quilt, and to post that new flannel quilt tutorial.

The winner of the March UFO Roll Call Challenge giveaway is submission #2 and it was posted by Michelleof Michelle's Little Piece of Heaven blog.  


The link is titled "Finished Apron" and it takes you to a post featuring Michelle's first full length smock apron, a gift for her friend Marian.  It's a beautiful apron Michelle, and what a nice homemade gift for a friend.  I just know Marian will love it.  If you haven't yet had a chance to view Michelle's blog, please go NOW and check it out.


Michelle is a wife, mother, crafter, homesteader and she has a barnyard full of animals.   She is taking on a huge challenge this season as she is more than doubling her vegetable gardening area.  Michelle is a wonderful cook too, she can take an established recipe, tweak it and make it hers like no other.  She is currently perfecting a homemade vanilla recipe.  I can hardly wait...  Thank you Michelle for sharing your talents with the rest of us.  I always look forward to reading and viewing your posts.   Thank you all for participating and for sharing such fun projects.

Mark your calendar!  

Let's get this party started!  We're having a GIVEAWAY at the end of the month!  All you have to do to enter is LINK UP one handmade quilt or sewn project YOU made during the month, before midnight on the last day of the month.  

Let's get to work on our next project to share with our sewing & quilting blog friends.  I'm feeling crafty and I hope you are too.

UFO ROLL CALL- JANUARY WINNER #2

2- UFO ROLL CALL WINNERS!!!

Surprise.  That's right.  There are TWO winners for January.  Those of you that read my earlier post were kept in the dark about that, sorry, but I wanted to keep it a secret until we had the second winner and that required Michelle.  


My sweet husband grew impatient.  He wanted to help so bad.  I couldn't tell him no so he drew the first winner, but my Michelle did eventually make it over here and she just pulled our last January UFO Roll Call WINNER.  

The winner is linky submission #16, Lynnie of Lame in Both Feet.  

Congratulations Lynnie. 

Michelle and I really enjoy your blog.  You will also be getting a lovely mini-quilt kit in the mail just as soon as you send me your mailing address.  My e-mail address is hgonzales8@bak.rr.com.  Let's get cracking on those February projects ladies. 

UFO Roll Call- FEBRUARY

UFO Roll Call

A monthly sewing/quilting challenge

On the first day of each month in 2012, I will open a new Linky party post.  It will be open all month long to make sure everyone gets the chance to link up and share their new handmade creations.

This blog party is open to both quilting and domestic sewing projects. This is the place to show off your next homemade apron, your blue ribbon quilt, and to post that new flannel quilt tutorial.

Mark your calendar!  

To get this party started, we're having a GIVEAWAY at the end of this month!  All you have to do to enter is LINK UP one handmade quilt or sewn project YOU made during the month, before midnight on February 29, 2012.  

Let's get to work on our next project to share with our sewing & quilting blog friends.  I'm feeling crafty and I hope you are too. 

January UFO Roll Call WINNER!

I hope you made progress on your sewing projects.  I did a bit, but I still have a few things to work on so it's back to work tonight.  We have lots of birthdays for the next few months in our family.  That will keep me busy sewing.  I sure enjoyed viewing everyone else's projects and the wonderful tutorials.  Thank you all for sharing your sewing projects.  Nothing inspires me more than enjoying someone else's beautiful handiwork.  Amazing work ladies. Mad skill.  (My niece tells me that is teenage code for you are talented.) Well, let's pick our January giveaway winner.

I have a lovely mini-quilt kit (above) that I will pop in the mail for the winner just as soon as they send me their mailing address.  These little kits are kind of neat.  They are small.  This one's only 15" x 15" but it contains the pattern, and the fabric for the top, backing, and binding.  What a fun little gift idea.  Wouldn't it be fun to design your own mini-kit pattern and "kit it" as gifts for sewing friends?  I think so.  

As you can see, I have drawn up numbers for each entry.  The numbers correspond to your linky submission number on the blog.   My BFF Michelle was supposed to help me, but my wonderful husband Jerry was practically jumping up an down to draw the winner so he will be pulling the winning ticket for us. Thank you Jerry.  Sorry Michelle.  She'll understand, she knows my hubby... Here goes!  Drum roll.........

 Look at his face...

 He was so excited to draw...  he could hardly contain himself.    

He may not have grown up completely, but he's my boy and I love him dearly.  Silliness and all.   Ignore his icky fingers.  He tiled a wall yesterday and that dried them out.  The cuts are from making my next eagle project.  

The January UFO Roll Call WINNER is #23.  Jill of the Braver Homes and Gardens blog.  Congratulations Jill.  


On with the next UFO Challenge.  February is already live on the blog folks.  Let's get to work ladies.
