August UFO and The Case of the Missing Quilt Gloves

I had hoped that this post was going to be my complete UFO for the month of August.  I haven't even worked on my UFOs for the last several months, but this months seemed easy and within range.

I pulled it out last week and it went together so quick!  (Of course it's only about 24" x 36" so that's not saying too much.)  My plan was to get it quilted and bound over the weekend.

I got all the basting pins in, picked out a free motion quilting design that I was determined to try out no matter how bad I thought I would be at it, reached into the drawer to pull out my quilting gloves, but the gloves were gone!  No bueno!

I searched and searched and searched, but they are nowhere to be found.  So here the UFO sits, unquilted.
I will probably break down and buy a new pair on Friday, but it put a big dampener in my plan to have this months UFO complete by now.  But, since I couldn't finish the UFO I did what any quilter does in this situation...I started a new project!

  1. Starting a new project is the best therapy there is! I like this quilt, though, so I hope you do either find those gloves or get some new ones soon.

  2. Look in all your closets and the bathroom. That's where I usually find my husband's wallet! LOL!

  3. Starting a new project sounds like a great solution to your missing gloves problem! *grin* No doubt they will re-appear right after you buy new ones! Have fun anyway. ---"Love"

  4. Hey - do you have kitchen sink gloves on hand? I saw someone say they use those to quilt with and that they work great. Might be worth a try if you don't want to buy new gloves in case the others reappear.
