At the beginning of the year, I challenged myself to complete one UFO (Unfinished Object) a month. Unfortunately, I did not make it through the entire year, but I have to say that I didn’t do terribly.  I finished a total of eight UFO’s this year, which is eight more than normal, so I’m going to call the challenge a relative success. My latest project was a quilted wall hanging called Santa and Rudy in the Photo Booth. It features Santa and Rudolf getting their photos made in a photo booth.  I found the pattern at the AQS quilt show in Knoxville a few years back.  So incredibly cute.  I hand appliqued and hand quilted this wall hanging and it will make a great holiday decoration.
