UFO Challenge Winners!

Thanks so much to everyone that joined the challenge. I'm so happy that you all were able to finish up some of your projects.
My intent in having this challenge was to motivate myself to finish up some of my own UFOs, unfortunately, this did not seem to be the right time for me. The only thing I did finish was the car themed quilt I had started for my husband several months ago. This is the one item that I actually forgot to include in my whole list of UFOs! Oh well, c'est la vie.

Instead of using a random number picker, I wrote all the names down on pieces of paper and put them in a bag to pick randomly.

I did exclude 2 entries, one for being finished in May (sorry, I had to stick to my rules!) and one that no picture appeared with the link. That being said, 18 entries went into the bag, and here are the winners, the order drawn matches with the prizes 1-9.

Just to be clear, I'll also list the winners/prizes below. Prize #1 June Tailor Twist and Stitch Pinwheel Block Ruler. Goes to Krista

Prize #2 Fat Quarter Bundle of the Denyse Schmidt Hope Valley Prints goes to Ella

Prize #3 10 Vintage Sheet fat quarters of your choice from my Etsy Shop. goes to Sue

Prize #4 Half Yard stack of 5 Anna Marie Horner's Little Folks Voile prints goes to Laura

Prize #5 3 Fat Quarters of Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy Legacy Orange/Pink goes to Suz

Prize #6 3 Fat Quarters of Denyse Schmidt Flea Market Fancy Legacy Teal goes to Ella

Prize #9 Random stack of 10 Denyse Schmidt Fat Quarters to be picked by me. goes to Sheila

W.I.P. Wednesday Revealing my Shame Edition

Ok, may shame is too strong of a word. But this is the Wednesday that I reveal all of my WIP/UFOs, not just the ones that currently interest me. I'm doing this in the hopes that some of you out there will also reveal your UFOs and decide to join in my challenge for June!


So right now, all of these have no progress. I haven't sewn all week. Since it really got warm over the past weekend, it's kind of sapped my desire to sew...


Here's a quilt I started working on pre-Christmas 2011. I was all gung ho for Christmas quilts months and months ago, now, not so much. I'm not sure how many blocks I have made, I just know it still has a ways to go.

Next was my foray into apron making. This one is a half apron that still needs to have the waistband attached.

I forget the pattern name of this quilt, but it is one I started spring of 2011 I believe. Alternating rows of brown and tan blocks with different fabrics at the centers.

My Swirl Stars quilt from long, long ago.

Apple of my Eye quilt

Sophie quilt from vintage sheets

My Precious double hourglass quilt

And a few tops that are awaiting backing inspiration.
Happy Mochi Yum Yum Zig Zag quilt

Central Park quilt

and Delighted baby quilt.

I think I've included everything that is currently unfinished. It's possible that I may have forgotten something, somewhere.
My reason for showing all of these is to introduce a month long challenge for June to try and finish up as many of these as possible. I'll be having a few prizes for participants and hopefully we'll all be inspired to get some of your UFOs out of the way before Summer (in the US) gets fully into swing!
Details and the link up should be up tomorrow.
