I just knew that when Joan announced this hop I would have a great time. Where to begin? UFO can mean a few things to quilters, Unfinished Objects and we all have them which makes this such an inclusive hop.
I only needed to find my UFO bin to have something that would work for me and the hop.
I found this one and thought that I had pulled it a couple of years ago to finish, apparently not.
It was full of the original pins and its half quilted.
I tried to find a blog from the past where I posted about it or should I say them. I made several as Christmas gifts one year and this one was supposed to be mine. The best I could do was find a note about one hanging at my sisters for so long we didn't remember when I made them. The note was dated 1/1/12 which makes it more than 10 years in the making.
Well it is now a done deal. OOPS, I think I forgot the eye balls, tee hee.
Ok fixed that. It is NOW a done deal. Ya Hoo
Thank you Joan, it's a wonderful feeling to see it completed.
The other UFO, Unidentified Flying Object is right up my alley. Back in June of 2021 Joan hoasted the Fairy Tales Blog Hop. At that time I made and posted about The Tardis which stands for Time And Relative Dimension in Space. Its the Police Public Call Box that Doctor Who travels in. Its a Type 40 time and space machine from Gallifrey, his home planet but I only got as far as finishing the top. I did get it quilted right after the Hop but never got around to the binding. Again, a project for me and those seem to be the ones left as UFO's the most often.
So I have now taken my Tardis and finished it. It is no longer an unfinished quilt project.
A UFO by any other name.
Joan thanks so much, I had a great time and am already looking forward to the next adventure.
Below is a list of all the participants for this event. You'll have a great time if you take a few minutes and visit with them all and let them know how great their clean up has been.

Your santa is very cute well done
ReplyDeleteThat Santa quilt is super cute. It is always good to finish an unfinished work.
ReplyDeleteYou really hit the jackpot with those two. Love both of them.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! I love the Santa especially.
ReplyDeleteYour Santa is so cute! I too found some projects with the pins still in them. That explains why my pins were disappearing and needed replenished! LOL!! Congrats on getting the binding on your Tardis quilt too. There is something about that final finish that warms our hearts! Along with that UFO busting! LOL!!
ReplyDeleteWay to go with those UFO's, always a thrill to finally get them done!
ReplyDeleteCute Santa, and I love the TARDIS!!! Congrats on 2 finishes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on two great finishes!
ReplyDeleteTwo new old projects all done! Check! Check! Always a good feeling to get old started projects finished. I had a couple once and was delighted when they were finished. But I don’t normally have UFOs. Start to finish is my goal always. Your Santa is ready for this year now. He’s adorable!...especially with eyes. Tee hee. And your Doctor Who quilt looks great all finished too.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute Santa and that Tardis is awesome. Way to go on getting two UFOs finished!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your 2 finishes. The Santa is adorable, and the Tardis is fabulous! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTWO finishes!!! And both of them are great! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteTwo great finishes. I shy away from Santa but this project makes me want to make one!
ReplyDeleteThat cute old gentleman is welcome to visit our house anytime. He is so handsome! I really don't know anything about Dr Who, but the idea of a magic sort of telephone box is fascinating. My imagination went wild when i saw this. One can see a great storyline for quilter there Seina. Thanks a bunch
ReplyDeleteGood for you to find such fun projects to finish up. They are both amazing! Santa will be a great decoration for this year's Christmas: so cute, especially those eye balls. And the phone box is something I had not seen in a quilt. Such great details with the wording and windows and lights. Great finishes!
ReplyDelete2 down - Congratulations. It feels so good!
ReplyDeleteHi Selina! I'm so glad you decided to finish your own Santa, and it's ready with plenty of time for the season to start. It does get earlier and earlier each year. LOVE the Dr. Who telephone box!!! That is so, so, SO cool. Great job. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteGreat projects! Sew nice to get some things finished up. Wow, that TARDIS quilt is bigger than I thought it would be! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIt's just great to know you're still spending time in your sewing room, and especially that you've been able to finish a couple UFOs. Gosh, that's always a great thing to do! Good for you to be participating in this blog hop. It's apparent that many people are following along. It's fun to get so many commenters, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSanta is so cute but I’m still in love with your Tardis and I’m so happy to see you will finally be able to use it/hang it and just enjoy the memories! Thank you Selina for sharing two sweet UFO finishes!
ReplyDeleteGood on you finishing both those UFOs - both great finishes and two big ticks on your list!
ReplyDeleteAwesome to have two finishes! Love the Tardis quilt so much!
ReplyDeleteI love love love the Santa! Great job! Is there a pattern for it?
