- Ufo projects only ( must be already started)
- You must have the pattern, fabrics, backing ,and batting for completion on hand
- Photos of each unfinished piece must be posted after your list.
- Make a list of what is left to do below each project's name (eg: quilt, bind, etc..)
- ☆ optional...tell us why a project has " stalled"... do you need help? Etc.

I'm at the half way point now, though l will be turning the quilt so my side borders will go smoothely.

Riana, you sure are doing Liz proud on that quilt. I am sure it will be a treasured heirloom for the granddaughter.
I am open to a FB group or some other method to keep the PhD group going. I have made a lot of progress on my partially finished project after joining the group. Not to mention the friends whose encouragement has made my days brighter. Anyone have ideas?

More done on Liz's quilt. I'm near 1/4 way mark. I've planned how the common elements are being quilted, but the blocks take longer as each one is different. I'll post photos after l pass the half way mark later this week.
My restoration quilt's hand quilting is slowly progressing, butvthe travel quilt and needlepoint must wait for Liz's quilt before more is done on those.

You're doing a wonderful job on Elizabeth's quilt, Riana. She would be so pleased!

Riana, that is amazing ! I just always thought everyone had a digital computer. What I think is great too is that you have a steady hand, I don't think I could do that. It is so very pretty !

Riana, that border quilting is stunning! You are so talented in that area. Liz would indeed be pleased with it.

Love your quilting, Riana. I am sure Liz is approving from above. It will be beautiful.

Zoe, my longarm machine is not set up with the digital control works, it's simply a machine without feeddogs and enough room for stitching on a frame. So l used those cardboard templates to draw on quilt using dissappering ink pen and did the feathers etc. freehand fmq. I draw designs first to plan what l'll be stitching. Sometimes l chose what others have done, but l prefer to invent my own :-))

That is beautiful, Riana. I think Liz would be pleased.

I don't have a long arm, and do not plan to get one.. but, when you design this do you draw it out in your machine?\ Riana, this is very pretty !

This is the border l designed for Liz's last quilt. And here is the first border stitched out.

Today l sewed the backing for the quilt top Liz made for her granddaughter. I've been planning how to quilt it, and have come up with some solid ideas...still deciding about borders, tnough.
Still plugging away at hand quilting the PHD restoration quilt ( it sure is big!). My fingers have good hand quilting calouses now,lol.
My travel quilt's on hold until Liz's quilt is done & sent off.

Did I miss something? The site is going away?

I have the fabric for Liz's quilt back in wash to preshrink. Next l'll iron and figure out a plan.
Zoe, I was thinking the same about copying Liz's remarks/ postings, but then l recall she would post much of same on fb which they already have access to.
-
-
Riana, it will be fun to see what you do with Liz's last quilt.
I do hope we will all figure out something, someway for us to continue. I am sad knowing that this site will go away.
Riana, I hope you will reach out to Liz's family and encourage them to copy what their mom wrote in these pages and her pictures. It would be too much for you to do all of that.

Zoe, the backing fabric is indeed a paler shade of that bright aqua, but is too noticably off. The reverse side of it blends a bit better. Given the overall modern pastel look, l've found a brown mixed subtle print l've decided on. Yes...great idea...a fun block sewn within the addition will make it " Liz style" :-))

Can you match up the fabrics in the window block on the front , it is what I am calling it.. and do something fun on the back with those colors?
