Halloween UFO

Happy day after Halloween!  I hope you had fun and saw lots of kids in creative costumes!

I have completed another UFO!  Yeah!  I started this wall hanging about 5 years ago and finished it two days ago!

After I completed it, I was stumped as to how to hang it.  It was a short term display so I did not want a permanent holder.  Then eureka, I found the solution to my problem - over sized clothes pins.  I purchased them from Michael's.  They were red and I took them apart and painted them black.

Here is a reason not to procrastinate - finish your projects in a timely manner.  This one was in the guest room laying on an ottoman for a year or so when I decided to work on it again.  To my horror I saw this:

Miss Viva had discovered it and started making her afternoon snack from the edge she could reach!  I had to cut off about 1/2 inch on the 4 sides to repair her snack attack!

Finishing some UFOs

I have been so busy running amuck with my BFFs that I just have not gotten around to posting on my blog.  However, I have finished a few UFO's that have been in my closet for quite a while.

Here is the first of what I hope is the beginning of a completion run of UFOs!

I've had this fabric for many years - so according to my calculations it is free fabric!  I think it came from the G-Street $2.99 table and is cotton toweling of a sort. I loved the two patterns of the fabric so had to purchase both.

Here is a close-up of the two fabric patterns

If you read my blog you know how I love to see my name in embroidery - so I had to add one the this robe!

I played with this design for quite a while until I got it in the correct position.  I have not played with my embroidery design software in ages and had to really work my pea brain to remember how to combine designs.  This one is from Embroidery.com and is a combo of a background design and an embroidery font.  I used a product called dry cover-up under the design.  I really like it for towels and fabrics with high pile that will be laundered frequently.  It stays in the design unlike solvy or other wash away products.
