As a former educator I truly believe that we are all life-long learners. We are never too old to learn new skills and ideas. But as a quilter I think I have gone a tad bit overboard with that philosophy. The result is I have created a closet full of UFO's (UnFinished Objects).
My local quilt shop, Cottonpickers, has started a monthly quilting club called "Marti and Me". The class features the tools and patterns of a professional quilter named Marti Mitchell. Each month we learn about a new technique and receive a pattern and special ruler to practice the technique. As of this writing I am finishing my twelfth class with "Marti and Me" and am starting my third rotation. That's a lot of UFO's. And it also means a wall of specialty rulers.
To paraphrase Mr. Will Rogers, I never met a ruler I didn't like.
These are the projects that are waiting TBQ (to be quilted).
Christmas and Halloween table toppers.
Three wall hangings

This American flag wall hanging will hang on my porch wall

Well, I guess it's a good thing I have all these UFO's waiting TBQ because I recently took the next step.......... and purchased a long arm quilting machine. Oh boy Aunt Tillie and Aunt Marge should see me now!!!
