Shocking isn't it? I finally dove into my bags of UFOs and actually finished a couple of things that have been languishing for all too long.
Our quilt group makes quilts for the local Ronald McDonald House, and this one has been half finished for a while. My rationale was that it's a summer quilt....with all those beach houses. (For some reason, the black-looking border didn't photograph well. It actually has the same colored dots as in the outside squiggly border.) But, it's done now and ready to turn in.
Sometimes we use fleece on the backs of our RMD quilts which I did here. It's a fun piece but was hard to center.
Then I found this half finished dishcloth and realized it's not good to stop mid-pattern. Luckily the multicolored yarn covers up my mistake, but it's finished now, too. Hurrah!
While I've been busy, the "girls" have been diligently guarding the house. We have a cheeky little squirrel that visits often to beg for peanuts. (Our daughter calls this "kitty TV".)
Good thing there's glass in this window! Don't you wonder what they're thinking?
There's always next time, Mocha.

Congrats on all your finishes! You seem to have had a lot more energy than I've had lately, lol!
I love the pics of the cats and squirrel. My Clarisse would have been jumping up the door if it had been her.
At least someone is getting something done. I'm proud of you. :) Love the "kitty tv" idea.
Those are some wonderful finishes Judy. How sweet to donate them to Ronald McDonald house. I am sure they will be well loved.

The quilt is fab Judy....so happy and colourful! I think your dishcloths are a great idea too.
And as for the squirrel.....what a cheeky chappie. Brilliant photo of the staring competition :-)
Those kitty-squirrel pictures are precious! The quilts you are making f=to give to Ronald McDonald House are great. I make blankets for Project Linus and I love getting them finished.
