Welcome to 2024! We all finished a LOT of PhDs in 2023 and I know we can do more this year. It helps when we have the support of your MJF sisters to keep us on track.
Please join with us this year to finish those UFOs and PhDs (Projects Half Done). Doesn't PhD sounds more important? I have so many PhD and I'm always finding (starting?) more. Most of my projects are fabric or yarn related - those are my media of choice.
You can post a list and when you finish a project you can add the date and post a picture so we can all see what you've completed, admire the talents of our farmgirl sisters, and encourage others to complete their projects.
How many projects can you finish each month? Let's try for at least 1 a month, though I know MJF farmgirls are very talented and I'm sure you can do more.
Farmgirl hugs,

My guild UFO for this month is to do something with 13 blocks my Great grandmother appliqued back in the 1920s. I found them in a drawer at my father's house. They were brown with age and stained. I soaked them in Oxyclean for 6 hours, hoping for the best. This week I put them together. Before and after:
55x70"

I'll probably plant tomatoes in the top tray, herbs in the next tray, lettuce in the third tray, and pole beans and cucumbers in the bottom tray. I want to put out some flowers in the beds in back. We'll see.

I usually make at least one mistake assembling something, then have to take it apart and do it the right way.

I really like your planter. Good job on overcoming the issue and completing it at last! Do you plant to put herbs, flowers, or veggies in it?

I finally finished this project after buying it 4 years ago.
I had started to put it together and then got stuck because I did the first step incorrectly. I don't know what it is about me. I am afraid of failure, and I just walk away and disregard it. The failure sits around taunting me until I just do it. I am so glad this planter is finished and I can use it for gardening in the summer.

Very pretty! I have heard of making quilt tops with handkerchiefs but this is the first time I have actually seen one. Thank you for sharing.

I started this vintage hankie quilt in 2020 to document my travels to Florida state parks. I finished it this month! Wahoo!
I have a tutorial of the process and upclose pictures on my YouTube channel.
I used some of the MJF fabric that I got one year during her annual sale. I love it!

My quilt guild's numbers for September and October were 5 and 6 and here the tops are are in all their finished glory. The bright one will go to charity. The panel was purchased for a class I took but never liked the technique. The big quilt was a civil war class I took about 10 years ago and was in bits and pieces so was a fun puzzle to complete.

Thanks everyone! I love seeing my UFO list getting smaller. Luckily I still haven't added anything new. I am torn right now between finishing a cross stitch piece or finishing a diamond painting. I am not sure which one I have more drive to finish lol!
