W I P s and U F O s

I've been reading about WIPs and UFOs on this blog today.

I rather like the fact that I have a few projects on the go.
A few WIPs
and even a couple of UFOs !

I don't really know the difference but I guess if it's nearly finished it's a UFO

and if not it's a WIP !!

So this week I finally finished the second pillow case to match my quilt
which means that UFO is now finished !


The second UFO is this wheelchair bag.



It 's handles velcro together over the armrest of a wheelchair so that a person can carry things around with them.


This one is destined to go to a child and only needs the binding round the top and the velcro to be added.
Recently my CWA  group had a daylong working bee to make these for sufferers of MS.

Next come the WIPs

I now have seven tops done of my set of eight tablemats.


This is a slow project as Ionly learn one block a month.
I am also doing a table runner to go with this set.....

... and I think it will be long enough with one more star.

So if you add my little crochet learning project I have a variety of projects on the go

and that feels good !!!

Cheers.

  1. Your patchwork is lovely Helsie - you are obviously a natural at it. Your quilt and pillowcases look really lovely - made me want to come and have a lie down there! And your table mats are coming on well with only one more to go so perhaps I'll stay for dinner too!

  2. I'm the same . I like to have a few things on the go at once so I can work on whatever takes my mood when I'm in the mood.

    LOVE your table runner. Gorgeous!

  4. Lovely. I really need to get back to some quilting and put the hook away. I'm know what a WIP is, but am at a loss for this UFO thing.

    Toodle-oo,

  5. Love the bed cover - looks brilliant. The placemats and runner are coming along nicely too. The wheelchair bag is very cute - well done! As for UFO's I have a crosswork cushion I started at least 15 years ago - very fine linen and myeyes now struggle to do counted crosswork!

  7. First offf - love, love, love your quilt and pillows - you have done a MAGNIFICENT job of these - now if I can place an order for a quilt please, colours are ...... please, I can even tell you my colours ☺ ☺ ☺
    WIP - are items you are currently working on. And if you choose you can have multiple items, like me, stretches the brain and the fingers ☺
    UFO - are items you started, put away for a while (intention was for a little while) and just never got back to - not what I like to do - rather undo it or start again
