UFO Challenge

This is a chance to turn five UFOs into quilts/finished objects in only one year! Decide which of your UFOs need to be quilts/or objects you want finished . . pick five. Describe the finished quilts or objects on the next page. Make sure that No. 1 is the one you want to workon first. Give enough information to easily identify each quilt/object. For example, “green churn dash” is a better description than “Bill’s birthday quilt or Christmas table runner or pj bottoms.” Fill out the list and make a copy for yourself so you know what to work on next.

“Finished” means quilted, bound and labeled for quilts, and completed item for other objects. The first quilt/object is due on January 8, 2025, and will be No. 1 on your list. It may be turned in early. After that, one quilt/object will be due every two months, except the fourth one will have 3 months because we have no meeting in July. The order of the quilts/objects will be chosen randomly from the remaining numbers. That means that the second quilt due will not necessarily be #2 on your list.

When you turn in your first UFO for inspection, you will be given a ribbon and a notion to attach showing that quilt is finished. You will receive another notion for each UFO as it is recorded as finished. There will be drawings for prizes after each due date is reached; therefore, all who finish even just one quilt will be eligible to win a prize that month. Other prizes will be awarded when the year is up.

September Update:

It was amazing to see all the UFOs turned in at our August meeting. Great job!! The final one is due at the October 8 meeting.

To be eligible for the final drawing you must complete all five of your UFOs. We know you can do it!

It's never to early to think about your UFOs for next year. We will start the sign-ups in November. Take a look in your closet or drawers—something special might just be waiting for your attention.
