RSC - GREEN for March, February UFO Finish from Grandma's Red Needle

Happy March!

How come it's March already?! Many of you are waiting for spring. Living on the Southern hemisphere, I'm waiting for 'winter in Mauritius'! 'Winter' here does not mean snow, it means the cold season. Beginning April the days are getting cooler. One more month to go, can't wait!

RSC (Rainbow Scrap Challenge) color this month is GREEN

Do I have green? Ha-Ha! Silly question of course!

Update: Approximately 30 yards!

What do I do with green? My goal is to use up as much as possible. Just got a bright idea to make a bed ...

RSC Week #3 - Not much Done... from Grandma's Red Needle

The Blue Month continues

RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge, hosted by Angela

Not much has been done on the blues since I'm still waiting for 'Nina' to return from the Spa. It has been one week now, I just have to practice patience! UGH!

Update Saturday: 'Nina' has got the green light to return home! YEAH!

While waiting...

...another blue UFO popped up while I was looking for something else!

I had completely forgotten this one. I know why it was put aside; the backing intended for it was used on two placemats (custom order) and I didn't bother ...

While waiting for 'Nina'.... from Grandma's Red Needle

...to return from the Spa....

The Scrappy Pineapple Quilt (UFO #3) is thread basted

Snowman Wall Hanging (UFO #18) is thread basted

I have another UFO (the NYB quilt) to be sandwiched. Two pieces of the backing fabric has to be pieced together

I borrowed MIL's vintage Singer. We are not sure how old the machine is, she bought it in 1956, the year she got married. Actually it was a gift from her late husband.

We have tried all day trying to set the thread tension right. MIL came to rescue, but no way is it possible to ...

RSC Week #2 - Blues Updates from Grandma's Red Needle

It's the Blue month.

RSC - Rainbow Scrap Challenge, hosted by Angela

I have not started anything new. I have 3 blue UFO's I hope to finish this year (previous post). I'm determined to work on those - until I get fed up with them! LOL Well, I hope that won't happen, because I love blues.

The last week I have worked on 'I've got the Blues'.

I've made 3 split star blocks (total 5)

and 1 log cabin block (total 5).

I have cut all the dark blue and part of the light blue for ...

It's that time of the year; to attack UFO's! from Grandma's Red Needle

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

So, here we go again! UFO's!

2022 was not a good year for me to finish UFO's. Out of 15 UFO's, I finished 2 only; an Advent Calendar (waited for thread) and a vegetable wall hanging. Actually I loved those fabrics so much that I used it all up! Click here to see the items I made. After I finished these, I totally lost interest and haven't touched the UFO's. I hope 2023 will be a better year to finish some at least.
