Great UFO work everyone
Mine never got started because my FIL is now very poorly and my stitching is low priority at the moment...still it is there for me to come back to.

Congratulations on finishing Night Fire!! And score on the sale indeed!

hope your FIL improves meerkat.

I failed at UFO week. I went to Joanne to pick up the rest of the floss for my HAED, and ended up buying a mini-kit from Bucilla that I worked on that instead of what I was supposed to be doing. Oops.

I'm about a day away from completing it, though, so at least I get that happy I-finished-something feeling, right?

Here's a promo shot of the kit. http://crossstitchworld.com/cross-stitc ... rdID=43598" target="_blank

I'll put up actual pictures when I've finished it.

Great finishes!

Here's my ufo progress this month.

That is so good. The face is so lifelike, I can't wait to see your next progress.

What a great idea with an UFO club! Many nice stitching in this thread
Maybe I can attend one month, but right now I have some stockings that I have to finnish first.

1st week UFO's seems like a good idea, but I think that is too regimented for me. And just now I am getting close to finishing 2 projects started either in Jan. or Feb. this year. So, I am hoping I don't go off on a tangent and let them both hang. I've brought a UFO to work for break stitching and haven't been at all successful at picking it up and keeping at it. I don't know just what the problem is. Actually, this is my lunch hour now and here I sit forum-ing, not stitching. So, perhaps I'd better go consume my calories before I am back on duty.

I tried to locate some UFO's I remembered... only to find that a couple of them I didn't like at all anymore. Probably it would be better just to get rid of the beginnings and recycle the material

But what I would really like to do is to try and finish the half-done Mystical Dragon - using the tip I got here, to put a white cloth under the black Aida. So maybe the UFO Club will motivate me enough.
Am I supposed to work on it during the first week of the month? This is the idea?

I actually pulled a UFO project out and I've been working on it this last week. It's my adobe house project. It's not that old but since I only had backstitching left to do and I HATE doing that I haven't been working on it. So far it actually hasn't been all that bad.

I'm extending my UFO week through tonight because my stitching lamp was out yesterday. I went and bought a new bulb (it's an OTT Lite and those bulbs are expensive ) and it's still not working. I don't know if I bought a defective bulb or there's some wiring issue with the light. Because of that debacle yesterday I need one more day to finish up the backstitching and I can show everyone the finished project. I'm so excited to be almost done with a project.
