My March UFO was a wall hanging that I started about 2005 called Angel of the Earth. I had most of it finished but had to do the thread painting and the beading/glitz. I got all that finished and put borders on and then took them off again. I couldn't decide if I should quilt it or frame it. I ended up taking it to a local craft store to have it framed. The clerk pulled frames and mat board and did some figuring and said it would be $780! WHAT??!! but with my discount coupon it would be $330. Still Way over my budget. I told her there was no way I was spending that. We finally got it down to a price I could afford . So I guess technically my March UFO is not finished because I do not have it back yet. Here is a picture before it was framed and I will post a picture of the final project at a later date. My April UFO is paper piecing quilt called Cinco de Mayo. ( too bad it wasn't my May UFO) Should be fun. "Sew" long for now.
WOW Julie! That looks great. You San Angelo girls are really good at thread painting.
ReplyDeletegreat job! and it's better that your "may" quilt was pulled now- it can be done in time for cinco de mayo!
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful design and I really like all your color and fabric choices. Congrats on a finish! Isn't framing ridiculously priced beyond all reason? Sheesh.
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful piece! Congratulations on a great finish!
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous. Congrats on your finish. I bet you feel great!
