Wild Blue Yonder
“Isn’t she a beauty?” Danny sat down next to Marlena.
She looked out the window at the private jet. “Yes, she is.”
“How do you like being the pilot?” Without waiting for an answer, Danny continued, “Myself, I love to fly. Each trip is an adventure into the wild blue yonder. Blue is my favorite color.”
“No kidding.”
Danny checked his watch. “Yippee! It’s time to board.” He picked up his bags, ran out of the lounge yelling, “Dibs on shotgun!”
“You don’t have to call ‘shotgun,’ Danny, ” Marlena sighed as she walked to the plane. “You are the co-pilot!”

UFOs in my Closet
In the sewing and quilting universe, a “UFO” is an UnFinished Object.
Recently, I found six of them in my closet.
I got to thinking about the Carpenter’s Star quilt I made and wondered if I had added a border already and if I had made the back for it yet. Unsuspectingly, I opened the closet in the sewing room and . . . BAM! The UFOs ambushed me (one of which was the quilt top I was looking for. It’s on the third hanger from the left).
I know what happened: I got all efficient when I bought the upholstery hangers (over a year ago?). I went through my fabric stash, found all the quilt tops I had already made (they were hiding with the unused scraps, fat quarters, and yard cuts of fabric), hung them up in the closet, closed the door, and forgot about them.
A perfect example of ‘out of sight, out of mind.’
So, my goal (I refuse to use the word ‘resolution’) for this year is to finish all these quilts: adding the borders where needed, piecing the backs, having them quilted by a professional, and sewing on the bindings. I will post photos as I complete each of them.
