For UFOs do stackc of fabric count? If so then I have a lot of UFOs. From the lovely silks and cottons I brought back from India last year to the silk wovens I bought for jackets which now that I am retired I do not wear. But they warm my heart when I look at them and I can see the finished objects and know I will never lack for anything to do. Partial UFOs are really my quilting. My design board has an unfinished Ostrich quilt but the design is complete; in my mind. The piles of embroidered butterflies along with the stacks of cut fabric that will turn into 70 odd tulip squares that with the butterflies will be a quilt in the Exhibition in August. Then there are the quilt tops waiting in line to be quilted on my machine quilting frame as I learn to be more proficient on the baby quilt currently resident there. My UFOs are my constant companions as they are not confined to 1 but 3 rooms in the house so I see then constantly. Don't get me started on the knitted objects in the sunroom, the living room. I know from experience all will get done but somehow they leave a legacy of other objects that are UFOs. Not sure how that happens but I put it down to sewing fairies with too little to do.

The more one can learn about a serger the better. I have a new one which does everything but like anything else if you do not use it all the time you forget. And suggestions for the use of serging to save time or provide a durable or decorative finish are welcome.

The Eva dress is so elegant and so very classic. I wore something similar to a cocktail party 3 days after my last son was born over 30 years ago. But not nearly so understated but impressive.
