Time to toot my horn AND to fess up!

Well, the PhD Challenge is over at midnight tonight, and I know I won't be squeezing another finish under
the wire...

I committed to doing 6 projects, so, here I will show you what did, and didn't get accomplished.

1.) My QD Sampler...
Top is done, needs batting, backing, quilting, binding & label. Not done! 8-(

2.) Country Sampler 
the Rabbit Factory
DONE! 8-)

3.) Hidden Thimbles
Blocks made, but that is it! Progress made,
but not done! 8-(

4.) Holly Jolly
Disappearing 9-Patch done with 4 charm packs!!
DONE! 8-)

5.) Charm Packs on Point
DONE! 8-)
.
6.) Many Thanks
Art to Heart - Nancy Halvorsen
Being hand-quilted...
Progress made, but not done! 8-(

There you have it! My toots and fesses! 8-)

Three out of Six done...
I'm happy with that, and will continue to work at completing the last 3 by the end of 2011...

I thank all the lovely ladies that jumped on board with me to get some of their PhDs off their backs also!!  You all rock! 8-)

For those of you that followed our progress,
I hope you've been able to get some of your own PhDs/UFOs/WIPs done during this first
half of 2011 too!! 8-)

32*C - feels like 44*C
translates to
89.6*F - feels like 111.2*F
Very humid! I'm one of those that
cant handle the humidity... 8-(

Stay cool!!
Happy stitchings!

Beautiful quilts - finished or not.

The Country Sampler is my favorite of all your projects shown. A very good finish. I am drawn to applique quilts.

Beautiful finishes and I can't wait to see the others done. Good job.

Peggy said...

Beautiful finishes - and the WIP's, looking good too! And you've inspired me to use up some of my scraps! Thanks so much for the challenge - it was fun!

Lotte said...

Good job! You got half the work done! My favorite is the charms packs on point... Really nice!

Jeanne said...

Nice work on your finishes! I over estimated my expectations of completion in six months. While I did get a lot done during that time, it was only two of the six on my UFO list. I'm still working on them, too.

Great, well done!
