One of my New Years Resolutions is to try to finish @ least one UFO each month. I am really going to make an effort as I have quite a few & if I can do it I may end up having a few extra Christmas gifts ready ahead of time. This is my first one, I had the topper done but nothing else because I couldn't think of what design to put in the middle that wasn't a directional one so I put it aside. Today I grabbed this off my pile & decided it had to be done today! So I chose the mitten design from my Christmas Collection volume 4 & sent the design to the 4 corners & turned it on an angle! Then I stitched in the ditch to quilt them together. A solid fabric on the back makes it reversible & perfect for winter & not just Christmas. Now all I need to finish it is the binding but I have to buy some yellow to match but it will be done this month for sure! Binding is done YEH!

Very nice table runner. Love your New Years Resolutions. Mine is to finish all my unfinished project but haven't started as of yet, to busy still putting away Christmas. Happy Stitching

Looks amazing. Sometimes it pays to set something aside for a while and then you can look at it in a different way.

Very pretty Loralye! Nice work!Great New Years resolution!!
You wouldn't believe the ufo I have, I had cut out a pretty Christmas dress for my oldest gd when she was a baby who is 13 now. I have been thinking I can use it now for my newest gd. lol! Also I want to share that when my Mom had died in 2000, she had a dress she started for me probably started in 1960 or so and I cut it and made into a baby onesie. It just makes you feel good to know that you finished.

I saw this on front and it made me smile. Glad I am not only one to do that. I had a pair of shorts cut out for my youngest son. Got them sewed for my 1st GS.

Very nice runner. Hope you got a finished project stash box of your done stuff so you'll know where to find next Christmas. I am in process of going through my shelfs of fabric to start with then onward to baskets, barrels etc. I hope to just make something everyday and dimish some of this over pile.
