The oldest UFO

My oldest UFO is getting quite popular and deserves it's own page!
If you have any unfinished projects that are just aging in your draw, dig them out and start stitching! If you like you can join us and we will be stitching these oldies together. Here are the rules:


  • You can join at any time
  • Post the progress of your work on your own blog with the label "the oldest UFO" and let me know that you did it. You can post the progress of your work (on that UFO of course) as often as you like but you must post it also on the last day of every month. That one will count towards a prize! 
  • If you do not have a blog you can play with us also but you must have at least on-line photo album where we can see your progress. Just make sure that your photos are uploaded to the folder "The oldest UFO" by the end of each month and remember to send me an email.
  • There will be a prize for the most stitched UFO!!! It would be not fair to say for most finishes because some UFO's will need maybe 100 stitches to finish and some could have 1000s! The first prize I will draw on January 1, 2012 and it will be a $25 Visa card. After that I will have prize every three months: April 1, 2012; July 1, 2012 and October 1, 2012 will close the year. I have no idea what prizes I will choose, it could be just a surprise!
If you have a question send me note to magicnorth@hotmail.com

Lets have fun together!

    Since there is more and more participants (love it!) I decided to create a new page dedicated just to The Oldest UFO. Thank you for participating.

    I need to learn how to set up different sub-blogs like your heading on top of your blog into my blog. Can u explain what I need to do so I can separate my "Oldest UFOs" from my other stitching projects. Thanks! socialsue

    I'd love to sign up for this one Evalina! I believe my oldest UFO is a Noah's Ark sampler that I started before any of my boys were born. It's at work right now, because I sometimes stitch on it there, but I'll bring it home so I can start on it again here and get an updated picture of it.

    I've decided to join! I have many old UFO's that need to be finished. Do I have to pick just one or can I do more than one? I have a few that are smalls. That is why I ask.

    Thanks!

    Christmas was so wonderful but sadly my oldest ufo did not receive any stitching in December.
    I must make more progress in 2012.

    I've decided to join in! Whenever anyone discusses UFO's I quickly scroll down to the next message however working on one UFO at a time starting at the oldest is do-able. My oldest WIP is Castle Sampler - pretty much all of them are TW's lol. I will add some information to my blog in the next few days.

    Hi there, I would love to join in - I have just updated my blog with my WIPs and UFOs that I want to stitch on this year so a SAL to work on our oldest UFO would be great! :)

    This sounds like so much fun!! I have several projects that have been languishing, but I really want to finish up a Christmas stocking for my oldest daughter. Maybe this will help!

    Well - I did it - I put that Angel of Cross Stitch onto my frame and have actually made some progress in the last couple of days. I am determined to get this one finished! I think I started it about 8 years ago. Thanks so much Evalina for giving me a little push to get this one done!

    Hi Evalina ... me again. Could you please delete my Number 28 position. I set up an album in photobucket to track my progress. Easier than wading through my blog :-) Thanks so much - and I'm actually enjoying stitching this BAP ... hopefully I can keep up the momentum!!

    I've signed up for my NOEL banner and the little tree I found tucked away in a chest. I'll let you know when I stitch on them but it could be for Christmas in July with Theme-a-licious.

    Thank you Evalina!! I can't believe how much I've done on my Angel this month. All I needed was a little incentive! I'd really like to have her done by my birthday, which is in March - and then my gift to myself will be starting a new project! Here's my progress up to today http://s527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/Janny2525/Oldest%20UFO%20SAL/

    Wow, you list of participants has surely grown. How great. I posted but don't have any progress to show on my oldest UFO....hopefully next month I will be able to show some progress. Thanks for hosting a great SAL.

    I am looking forward to this... I have a piece I started almost 10 years ago and never finished. I am going to go dish it out and post about it tomorrow. I think this will be amazing more so considering this pattern is from Holland. But I will post that in the first post about it tomorrow. =^_^=

    I am looking forward to going through these other posts and checking out what others are working on.

    Not as much accomplished this month as I'd hoped - but as you know, we've got the quilt committment to complete. I should be done that by tomorrow, and then it's back to my Angel. You'll find my February progress here http://s527.photobucket.com/albums/cc352/Janny2525/Oldest%20UFO%20SAL/
