How Many UFO’s (Unfinished Object Projects) do you have hiding away?

I love needlework! But somehow this little piece ended up unfinished, a small UFO, sitting in my closet with more UFO’s.

Unfinished Ribbon Embroidery Project

During the years that I was a member of the Embroider’s Guild of America, EGA, I took every class offered and attended regional retreats. As a result, I ended up with a lot of UFO’s in addition to the finished projects. But, all was not lost with UFO’s!  I enjoyed every stitch that I did complete and learned so much about embroidery and other forms of needlework and canvas work.  In addition, I loved spending time with  friends and the conversations we had while sitting and stitching.

The stitching of this little project is finished. I started tearing away the paper but something distracted me and I didn’t finish the project. I will most likely turn it into a small sachet pillow or frame it, so I hope to post the finished piece shortly!  I’m also feeling guilty about my other UFO’s so will pull them out and work on them while being a couch potato at night. That will also limit my couch potato guilt!

I hope you pull out your UFO’s and give them a little love!

  1. I should feel guilty, I have a cross stitch for our granddaughter to finish the back stitching on. Then I can frame all three that are long overdue. I am usually too tired in the evening to pick it up. I used to do that in the evenings. Maybe some unexpected exercise will do the trick.
    Happy Fall (don’t forget fall back is coming)

    • Hi Mary, Do not feel guilty!! There’s only so much one can do and most of us have too many things on our plate. Happy Fall to you. I will be at the International Quilt Market in Houston when we fall back, which is good as I stay up too late chatting and will be able to have an extra hour to sleep!
