As it was going to be a hot Summer's day here in Sunbury, I dug out a Christmas UFO Christmas Cats. Theory being that perhaps I could use it next year!
A few years ago, I made a New Year's resolution that I would label any project I started and I am happy to say that for the most part I have kept that resolution. So according to the storage bag of this project, I bought the fabric and pattern at the 2004 July Quilt Show at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre ( aka to Victorians as Jeffs Shed as it was built in the time of former State Premier, Jeff Kennett).
A quilting friend of mine bought one at the same time and seeing hers on display at her house this Christmas reminded me I should finish mine. I had been quite industrious and had completed a lot of the applique except for one row which is ornaments which I never liked and this is why it has sat for so long. However at a later stage, I had changed that row to stockings and was delighted to find them half made.
So the project has progressed to cutting up the panel and one row is now completely finished!


Meanwhile the temperature reached 39 degrees. Thank goodness for air conditioning!
