Lynn B's UFO List

Many thanks to Vickie for allowing me to join in with this Challenge...

Here is my long list of UFOs that I will work on during 2012:

Dragon Dreams: Dragon of Summer Sky

Blue Ribbon Designs: Friends

Victoria Sampler: Heirloom Christmas Sampler

Erynne Chard: I Love You More

Heritage: Lancashire Map

Lizzie*Kate: Living with Charm

DMC Country Companions: Me First

Disney: Mickey Salutes America

Bothy Threads Gorjuss: Ruby

Margaret Sherry: Santa Afghan

LHN: Season of Hope

L&L: Song of Christmas

Heritage: Three Little Maids

Mill Hill: Toy Shop

Abi Gurden: Tree of Stitches

Julie Hasler: Wilbur Tapestry

Ink Circles: Celtic Ice

L&L: In the Arms of an Angel

These are all pieces in my UFO box, and they will be worked on for a week at a time.  I have pieces of paper, with the name of a piece written on each one, in a box.  My DH will draw one of the names out of the box on a Sunday, telling me which piece I will work on for the following week... I also have some new starts in the draw box, to give me a break from UFO stitching now and then.  I am stitching on the Gorjuss Ruby piece this week... I'm looking forward to seeing at least a few of these finished by the end of next year!

Coffee Angel

I told you that was only a partial list.  I found Coffee Angel when I was looking for something the other day.  She's been calling to me so I think I'll work on her for awhile.  I need to get more yarn for my 'have to' projects and can't do that until Tuesday so I'll work on her until then at least!

Elena's List

First of all thank you to Vickie for setting this up. I'm still trying to figure out all the UFO's I have (which is a ton)! Also I am trying to figure out which will be still sitting in the UFO pile for another year. Once I have that all figured out I will post again. I just wanted basically to thank Vickie for starting this.

Thank you,

Elena

This is a partial list.  Some of these are UFOs because I need materials; some because I need to learn some technique; some because I started them for someone specific and that person changed their mind, left my life, etc; some because another project that had to be done for something special came up.  Eventually, they will all be finished!

Sharon's UFO's (and a WIP just for fun!)

Oh my goodness, folks.  I completely over-hauled my stitching room this week from top to bottom and from stem to stern.  It feels so good to be organized!  During this process, I re-discovered a couple of REALLY old UFO's that I would love to see at least become WIP's and, dare I dream...finishes some day?  How is it that I got this far on these pieces and then they just drifted off into the "heap"?  Sheesh..........

Here are my pictures of the lost "orphans" and where I'm starting from:

Paula Vaughn's "Delicate Beauties",  This is halfway finished according to the chart.  I actually have a blank space on a wall waiting for this to someday be hung.  Here's hoping!  :)

This is "Happy Home Sampler" from a "Cross Stitch and Needlework" magazine.  There is a LOT left to do on this one, as well.

 This is "Call of the Wolf" from Dimensions.  This one is a WIP, not a UFO.  (Thank Goodness!)  :)
Our son asked me to make this for him.

This is the first time that I've had three (large to me) designs going all at once.  Usually, I would work on a large project along with a small one, so that I could see myself making forward progress.  I'm going to have to sit down and come up with a serious rotation plan.

Good luck everyone!  I can't wait to see our UFO's become wonderful finishes....especially 'cause that would mean we could buy more stash, am I right???  LOL

Hugs,
Sharon in FL

At last - here is photo of first finish!

Ok- it won't let me post photo?

Having trouble posting photo!

Trying to post photo of Trolley finish.

ONE down!

Ok- I confess, I misplaced this for about 10 DAYS LOL. but here is photo - note the small trolley pin I found at an estate sale! Has anyone used pins like this to embellish their stitching? I don't know where to put it on the finished design. I've got start-itus - have my grand daughters names charted and started one - the good thing is there is no color changes - I'm hoping to have them done before Christmas (just not sure what YEAR Christmas LOL). Anyway ONE down and lots more to go!

Can Someone help?

Recently I noticed posts from the UFO challenge is somehow posting to my Multiply site. I did not set it up for Blogger to post posts from Blogger to Multuply. Let alone posts from the UFO blog. However I do have it set up so when I update my Multiply it posts to FB and my Blogger account.  I've never seen it post from Blogger to Multiply until now. I have it set up so Multiply lets all stuff for friends and family be seen and the Blogger I only have friends on. None of our family uses or looks at Blogger other then me. So its faster to use Multiply to post to both my Bren's Stitches and Multiply by making one blog entry. I checked Multiply isn't set up to post to the UFO Blog. Will test to make sure when I upload our Aug Vacation pics of Maine, NH, and Salem when I get the time.


I tried getting help from Blogger to stop all the posts ppl post to this UFO Blog to my Multiply. That was a PITA and FAIL. When ppl post it doesn't post to my FB FYI. And I don't mind the posts since only Friends and Family look at my Multiply. Actually I thought it was kinda neat as it brings cross stitch into my extended family. Not many stitch, let alone understand stash or our lingo.  But figure someone here might care that some how Blogger is cross posting it to my Multiply site.

If someone really minds that Blogger is misbehaving in this manner pls let me know. I will try to find the time to figure out how to fix it. Blogger is no help and Multiply help says its Bloggers fault not theirs.
If someone Knows how to fix it let me know. I've looked at all the settings on both sites and can not fix Bloggers hiccup.

Vickie's UFO List

Hello everyone!!! I am so glad that we have  a lot of stitchers who want to conquer their UFO's. I will be adding everyone's name to the blog as time gets closer. I wanted to list my UFO's.  The majority of them are BAPs.  Why I am drawn to these I will never know...but I am!! I am including the name, designer and how many pages I have left to stitch


1. Faery Tales - Haed 47 pages
2. A Wintery Heirloom - Haed  23 pages
3. SummerBall by Sandra Littlejohn 6 pages
4. Augusta 12th Hole - Mystic Stitch 12 pages
5. Patchwork Sampler  9 pages 
6. Disney Castle -Art of Disney 2 pages 2 pages
7. 2010 Ozark Sampler SAL 2 pages
8. Ozark Sampler House Trio 1 page
9.  Cupcake design 1 page
10. Mercantile - 1994 Cross stitcher Victorian Village 1 page
11. Ice Cream Parlor - Victorian Village 1 page
12. Apothecary - Victorian Village 1 page
13. Sweet Shop-Victorian Village 1 page
14. Barber Shop- Victorian Village 1page


As a math teacher, I have calculated that in order to finish ALL of these projects in one year  I would need to stitch 1,718 stitches a day!!! Since I really do not see that happening.  I counted all my pages and I have 108 pages of UFO"s.  So my goal is finish 30 pages of my UFO's. That should be around 20% of them being finished.  Did I mention I was a math teacher and I am kinda of a nerd that likes to calculate percentages????
