Vickie H - UFO's

I can't believe it is almost 2012 and time to the start the UFO Challenge!!!  Here are all my UFO's in no particular order.  The first two I am going to work on is Cinderella's Castle and Faery Tales.  If you are wondering why I picked those two it is only because those are the ONLY two kitted up!!!  I am in the process of rearranging my floss and I can't find anything!! HEE HEE!!!  So my goals this year is to finish 58 pages of the 135 pages I have left on these projects. The grand total of pages is 154!!!! So the 58 pages would put me at the 50% mark. BTW, I am a math teacher so I deal in percentages

2010 Ozark Sampler SAL 34.5% complete 2 pages left

Summer Ball by Sandy Littlejohn: 4.9% - 6 pages left

Mystic Stitch Augusta the 13th Hole - 22.3% 12 pages left

Haed: A Wintery Heirloom 6.8% - 23 pages left

Cupcakes 75% 1 page left

Seasonal 9 nine Patch:  61.1%   4 pages left

Victorian Village -The Cross Stitcher Magazine 58.3% 5 pages left

Patchwork Sampler 28% 9 pages left

Ozark Sampler Seasonal Afghan 4.2% - 23 pages left

Cinderella's Castle 50% 2 pages left

I can't wait to get to stitching on these since my goal is to finish 35 pages!!!!   Lets see if I can accomplish this goal!!!

Happy Hour by Hinzeit

I picked this one up again a few days ago, so perhaps it will be my first 2012 finish!





Mini B11 Keychain by Pinn






Mystery SAL by Wiehenburg



Tree Frog Trio by Dimensions






No. 23 Blueberry Lane: Candy Shop by Brightneedle






Cat Biscornu (minus the Bible verse)- Freebie from now defunct website





French Country Baby Carriage by JBW Designs

My friend's favorite color is silver, so I started it on black, decided it was too dark, changed to pink, and decided that was too light. I just can't decide on a good fabric color for this one.

Elaine-Lizzie*Kate Bits UFO

I finally got a start on my UFOS! I thought we were waiting till Jan 1st so I was working on other stuff. But anyway, I'm here and ready to go. Last night I pulled out my tub of UFOs to choose which one I wanted to start with. I chose L*K's Flip-It Bits months. I only had a little bit of August done and finished that one last night & today. Just need to do Sept-Dec now. I've been wanting to finish this one, but it's been hard for me to pick up and work on. I started this as a stitch-a-long with my online friend Angie in 2007. At the time Angie was in remission from breast cancer. It came back and she got worse very quickly. Angie passed away just after Christmas 2007. Every time I work on it I think about her and it makes me sad. I finally decided she would want me to finish it. I miss her a lot and wish we would have been able to meet in person. I still have links to both her old and new blogs on my blog. Just can't delete them. Here's to you Angie! I miss our crazy chats. ='(

Christine in California here

Hi Everyone! I'm really happy to join in on this challenge because I easily had 15 UFOs and I selected ones that I really would like to finish.

Meari's Challenge Projects

I have two older projects for the UFO Challenge. I started Japanese Garden in 2006. Despite her prodding in 2011 (Ahem, Vickie!), I didn't get much done on it.

Japanese Garden

I started Simply Elegant years ago also. For a while, it was my lunchtime project when I worked out of town. Since I no longer work out of town, it got put to the side. I want to finish this one.
