She roped <a href=\"https:\/\/highfibercontent.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Friend Julie<\/a> in to help, which I thought was a great idea.<\/p>\n<p>This is a Sew Day to Sew Day group project rather than a meeting project. I think it is good to space activities out. Also, some people only attend Sew Days, so it gives them an opportunity to participate in a group project. I don&#8217;t want to be in charge of everything or tell people how to do everything, which means letting the UFO team run with the project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As president of the guild, however, I feel I have to try and participate in most activities. As a result, I dutifully made my list of UFOs. All of mine are bag related since I knew I wouldn&#8217;t be able to finish an unquilted quilt in a month. I could certainly finish the top, but not the quilting.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Serendipity Lady<\/li>\n<li>Paris Cell Phone Wallet<\/li>\n<li>EPPic<\/li>\n<li>Rose Petrillo Bag<\/li>\n<li>Megan&#8217;s Bone Enigma<\/li>\n<li>Sheffield<\/li>\n<li>Sun hat<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sewsweetness.com\/products\/chickadee-backpack\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chickadee<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Extra large project bag<\/li>\n<li>Joni Tote bag<\/li>\n<li>Catalan Storage Cube<\/li>\n<li>Pandora Charisma<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Most of these projects have been on one of my lists or another. You can see links to the ones that I have started on the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/26-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26 Projects<\/a> list, like <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/serendipity-lady\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Serendipity Lady<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2025\/08\/more-about-the-eppic-bag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">EPPic Bag<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2025\/05\/rose-petrillo-returns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rose Petrillo Bag<\/a>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2020\/08\/starting-another-cell-phone-wallet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paris Cell Phone Wallet<\/a> should be on the list, because it is cut out. I don&#8217;t know why it isn&#8217;t, but I will add it.<\/p>\n<p>I have cut out a few pieces for the Sheffield. I also made a <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2024\/11\/finished-sun-hat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sun Hat<\/a> and didn&#8217;t like it so have started another one using the <a href=\"https:\/\/sewhungryhippie.com\/products\/bardot-bucket-hat-pdf-sewing-pattern?_pos=1&amp;_psq=bard&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bardot pattern<\/a> from Sew Hungry Hippie, but otherwise all of the projects are on my &#8220;I want to make this sometime list.&#8221; I put the <a href=\"https:\/\/sewhungryhippie.com\/products\/joni-pdf-and-video-sewing-pattern?_pos=1&amp;_psq=joni&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Joni Tote Bag<\/a> also from <a href=\"https:\/\/sewhungryhippie.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sew Hungry Hippie<\/a> on my list in order to try some fabric (one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2025\/12\/weird-substrates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">weird substrates<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/20250818_182410_wm-sm.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I bought from Sewfisticated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I only had 10 things on the list, which was ok, but I decided to add the Catalan Storage Cube to round out the list.&nbsp; I accidentally bought a frame for the pattern with a recent order and I might as well put it to use instead of having the frame sit around the workroom. The Catalan Storage Cube is part of<a href=\"https:\/\/sewsweetness.com\/products\/minikins-season-four-12-pattern-video-bundle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Minikins Season 4<\/a>, another one of the Sew Sweetness 12 bag bundles.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_69329\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69329\" style=\"width: 238px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Charisma-mktg-image.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-69329\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Charisma-mktg-image-238x300.jpg\" alt=\"Pandora Charisma\" width=\"238\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Charisma-mktg-image-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Charisma-mktg-image.jpg 657w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 238px) 85vw, 238px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-69329\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pandora Charisma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Finally, I decided it was time to make the <a href=\"https:\/\/sewfisticatedcraft.com\/products\/pandora-charisma-convertible\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pandora Charisma<\/a>, so I added that as number 12 as well. This is one the bags I got from the <a href=\"https:\/\/bagomc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bag of the Month Club<\/a> for which I signed up last year. I know I have the skills to make it, but it is a little scary for a couple of reasons. First, I haven&#8217;t made a pattern by this designer before. Second, the pattern is 52 pages. Third, there are a lot of weird shapes making up the pattern. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=msMP9bQuiII&amp;list=TLGGObBkCrs1K70wNjAxMjAyNg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The bag is cool<\/a> so it is time to make it. It is different than any other designs I have seen or made. I can&#8217;t imagine that I can&#8217;t do it.I need to make it, though. The bag does me no good sitting around on my computer looking pretty.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of our guild members offered to host a UFO Challenge.
