Mary did a great job with the embroidery on the "Love Birds" quilt, didn't she? However, I haven't made it to the quilter with it yet. I found that I didn't have enough of the fabric I planned to use for the back. In fact, I don't have enough of any fabric for the back. Of course, I could piece a back, which I often do, but for this one, I sort of want a one-piece back. So I guess I have to buy fabric--oh, horrors! Isn't it a pain when you just have to go to the fabric store? No. I guess not.
Below are Blogless Barbara's contribution to this week's progress report. More work on her seasonal block swap pieces, and a little preprinted heart panel that Barbara has had in her stash for decades. Now it's a sweet little doll quilt or wall hanging. Great work Barbara.
Below is, as usual, Mr. Linky. I really enjoy visiting your blogs each week, so don't forget to link up--even if you're not an "official" member of this UFO Challenge. In fact, I'm thinking seriously about changing the challenge and just making it a Progress Report of whatever we happen to be working on. It can be UFO or something entirely new that you've just begun or your current project in progress. What do you think?

What beautiful embroidery on the Love Birds wall quilt! Good job,Mary!!
Thank you once again for posting my UFO progress, wee projects that they are.
Your woes about having to go to a quilt shop certainly sound like Brer Rabbit pleading not to be thrown into the brier patch. I can still hear "Born and bred in a brier patch and it can't hurt me!!" from Song of the South. Enjoy your visit to a quilter's candyland and all of the delicious visual treats that await you! Good luck on finding just the right backing fabric that pleases you.
Hope you have a delightful Memorial Day weekend!
Hugs!

Wouldn't that be a good name for a fabric store: The Briar Patch? I love it.

I'm so sorry you have to go buy more fabric! (wink, wink!) The embroidery does look very nice. I am already sort of doing more of a progress report any way, so I vote for that.

Yes, The Briar Patch Quilt Shop would certainly lure us older Southerners in for sure!
Your spell check said I'd spelled briar wrong so I changed it to brier in my first post. I suppose I should look it up as spell check still says "a" is incorrect.
Hugs!

I don't feel one bit sorry for you having to make a trip to the quilt store! No progress report for me as I am on vacation! But I spotted a quilt store here in this small Nebraska town that I will most certainly be visiting in the morning!

The embroidery looks great! I have been slowly working on binding some table runners, and have gotten a few other small projects done this week.

Hi Susan, to answer your question on what you should do about UFO or current project. Either way is fine with me. I know I've posted some of both and it's worked okay both ways. i do still have tons of UFOs to work on, but a new project slips in there now and then to keep me from working on the the old UFO stuff. Whatever...we all appreciate you keeping us accountable each week.
