  Kathy and I finished loading the trailer yesterday and hit the road. Before each adventure, we go to Moody's tire to check air pressure and oil. Stopped for gas and finally left Franklin. Stopped in Clarksville for some lunch, Arby's. We then proceeded to Paducah. Not too many vendors are here yet, so we were able to get a decent spot to unload. Half way done, it started to rain, not good. Just enough to be annoying! We got everything in the booth and started to set up. We hung the quilts and realized that they are our own patterns!! Feels very nice to promote us. We then put up our lights, greenery and Christmas lights. Placed the tables and then decided we were done for the night. Went to the marshmallow or bubble so see our friends. Jodi and Steve,#squareinasquare, was ready to call it quits for the night also. We headed downtown to eat at the Whalers. They have the best poppy seed salad dressing.
  After we ate, we headed to our house that we rented for the week with our friend Julie Jenkins and her mom, Joann. It is near Kentucky Dam. We missed the road we needed to turn on, which lead us to a place we could Zipline!! Non-quilt related adventure?? Turned around and found the road.
  Julie was already here with wine ready to be poured!!

  Did everyone have a wonderful weekend? Are you ready to get this Monday started?
  How are you doing on your UFO Challenge? i have been gone a lot this month and have not made much progress. 😦 Saturday, February 1, I will post another number for the month of February. Will you be ready? Get busy and stitch on!!!
  Who is ready for a challenge to finish some of your projects that is stashed away? I bet you have forgotten many of them! I know I have. Some of them I think, when did I do this?
  1. Pull out 12 of your UFO projects you would like to complete this year. Yes, I know you may have more than 12. As you pull the projects, ask yourself these questions:
  A. Do I want to complete this project?
  B. Do I love this enough to finish it?
  C. Do I just need to tear this project apart and put it into my stash?
  2. Put each project in a bag or container with all you need so you will be ready to start the project. Special rulers, instructions,
  3. Number each project from 1-12
  4. The first day of each month, I will post a number from 1-12. Pill that project and work on it and try to finish before the end of the month.
  5. As you complete a project, send a photo or share on our Instagram.
  6. You decide what is finished. Topper ready to be quilted or quilted, bound and label.
  7. When you are finished, cut your leftovers into useable squares or strips ready for a future scrappy project. I will probably cut mine into 2 1/2″ squares and strips.
  8. Ready or start? Pull #2 project, ready, set, GO!
  If you find projects you don't want, separate the fabrics and put in your stash or cut up into squares or strips for a future project.
