Week end reflections: Ufo

The other day we was in need of a light bedcover so I pulled out an unfinished quilt that was just waiting to have the border sewn by 6 years! You know, when you have to do because you need something, you do it, and now my aged UFO (Unfinished Object) quilt is finally finished.

So today my week end reflection is about UFO, is our life comparable as how many ufo we have in our craft closet? I have tons of UFO!! and into my daily life it seems I can't be very organized as I'd love to. So my reflection this day is to try getting more organized... and pulled out another UFO from the closet and try to complete it soon, I will let you know.

Have a happy week end!

Dear Jane & baby quilt.

Poco più di una settimana fa ho scoperto che Viviana si è lasciata incantare dal Dear Jane... e come darle torto?! Sono anni che anche io muoio dietro a questo quilt, non ho mai avuto il coraggio di iniziare perchè l'idea di tutti quei blocchetti, del bordo a triangoli e la complessità del progetto mi ha fatto desistere pur avendo il libro. Però Viv ha risvegliato in me la voglia di provarci, grazie a lei ho anche trovato altre amiche che si stanno cimentando in questa impresa, così mi sono iscritta anche io al blog Dear Jane Italia ed ho iniziato il mio Baby Dear Jane!

Just over a week ago, I discovered that Viviana was enchanted by Dear Jane quilt... For years, I have sigh for this quilt, but I never had the courage to start because the idea of all those blocks, edge to triangles and the complexity of the project made me desist. But Viv has awakened in me the desire to try, thanks to her I have also found other friends who are engage in this undertaking, so I enrolled myself to the blog Dear Jane Italia and I started my Baby Dear Jane!

some of the block I've already made

In questi giorni però mi sono fermata per un altro progetto al quale stavo lavorando prima di iniziare il dear jane.

Il quilt per la culla del mio bebè!!!
Ho finito il top, devo ancora aggiungere il bordo, ma per quello aspetto di sapere se sarà maschio o femmina e dopo mi regolo di conseguenza (bordo rosa o azzurro... lo sapremo tra un mese!).

Qui la foto, che non rende granchè, devo decidermi a cambiare macchina fotografica, ma quella che vorrei io costa troppo! :O)

These days, however, I stop for another project to which I was working before starting dear jane.

The crib quilt for my baby!

I finished the top, I must still add the borders, but I will wait of knowing if it is male or female, and after I rule accordingly (pink or blue... I know in a month!).

Here is the picture, awful colors I know, I'll better decide to change the photo camera, but what I would buy cost too much!: O)

E questo è tutto! Ciao!
