But it was round and I could not decide what I wanted to do with it. A couple of weekends ago, we left for Cranberry Cottage on Friday morning so I asked Jos if we could stop in at a shop I like in Staphorst. I knew this sampler was sitting in a stack waiting for attention but was not looking for anything for it. When you least expect it, there it is...the solution.
I found a round candle tray that I was thinking would be about the right size for this sampler. I cut a piece of poster board in a circle to fit inside the tray and glued a couple of layers of quilt batting to it. Then I stretched the sampler over the poster board and laced it after which I simply glued it into the tray. A piece of lace glued around the edge finished it off just right.
So far, I have finished 13 projects this year of which 6 were on my UFO list. I am really pleased with how many I am finishing so have been adding more UFOs to the list. I hope I can keep up the momentum.....
Anyone else working this year on UFOs?

Well, aren't you just very clever. I love that finish. I love that store too by the way, but you know that. Hope you aren't leaving it outside lol. Okay, I know you won't.
Very nice .
Love you, Mom
PS: I bought the book you suggested on my nook and the book did not work.
I had to get a credit by calling the help line. The guy tired to fix it but the book didn't work. It was Emily's Ghost. Weird huh.
I love, love, love the way you've finished this Heidi! I'm intimidated by circles - the slightest bit of wonkiness really shows. You've done a beautiful job!
You found the perfect way to finish off your piece. I am going to have remember that you did this because I have a piece that I want to stitch and it's circular also. This will be the perfect way to finish it off.
Oh that's gorgeous, Heidi!!!!
So, so pretty. That touch of lace really sets it off. You have a nice gift for decor Heidi.
what a great and creative way to finish this design. It turned out great, it sure is a way to remember.
Fantastic finish, Heidi! Love how your diplayed it for your picture ~ so pretty!
Way to go Heidi. I think you and Jos are in serious need of a trip to California. If you get bored I have UFO's for you...hehehe
blessings, jilly
That is the best finish! You did a beautiful job.
I love this finish Heidi! It is really beautiful! Congratulations on all of your UFO finishes. That is a wonderful accomplishment. I too am working on a UFO and have a few more lined up. It feels good to finish something that has been waiting for awhile...grins...like Mary Poppins? Hugs from Ca. my dear friend.
That was a lucky find, the finish is perfect for that design
You are making great progress on all those UFOs. I love this sweet spring finish.
Another great finish! And have a great special week, this week! :-)
Prachtig, heel mooi
Ja ik! Probeer ook wat dingen af te maken, ben druk met twee borduurwerken en heb ook 1 haas af, verder wordt er druk aan quilts gewerkt! Heerlijk toch als er weer iets af is! Groetjes

P.S. Staat geweldig!
I am exhausted, so the only comment you'll get is "great job". Sorry I can't come up with anything more original!
All those finishes!...you put me to shame! Well done!
Wat een leuk idee Heidi, het borduurwerk komt zo mooi tot z'n'recht.
Liefs en huygies, Bep.
Beautiful stitched and so cleverly finished off
Looks like I'm your newest follower at this moment. What a fun, pleasant and heart warming time I had here, and I want to drop in often. Lovely blog.
You creative girl!! I LOVE this!!!
I love this sweet round piece. Your round frame and the lace are the perfect finish.
This is lovely! and I really like the way you finished it with the lace.
A really great solution that you found for this round design. So creative.
You have my full admiration for having already finished so many UFOs this year. I also want to finish some of mine but so far have only created some new ones, lol.
Congratulations Heidi!
Another beautiful " Affo"
I almost finished my 7th UFO,and it feels great isn't it?
Have a lovely weekend!

such a beautiful finish. I still need to finish mine.
What a great idea for the frame, and how beautiful it looks completed. Good for you!

THis is a great solution! I am working on my UFO's, but since they are all quite big, I haven't finished a lot yet. I finished 3 quilts this year and one Hoooked Zpagetti project, not bad, is it?
