I Found a New Use For an Old TV Tray....

I bought two of these Ninja Turtle trays back when the turtles came out.  One for each of the kids.  This one was my daughter's.  My son thought his was something to sit on.  It ended up in the trash....

I got this crazy idea yesterday evening to get the tray out from the drawer on the stove and put it to use.  It's been over a year since I sat down and worked on this batik quilt.  The petals that you see here are for a Dresden Plate.  It is part of a UFO that I needed to work on and get off my list. LOL!!!

I'm using reverse applique for the curved part of the the petal out of recycled dryer sheets.  They work great!  It saves me from having to buy any stablilizer. 

Now for a little bit of playing on the internet and a little bit of handpiecing before I hit the sack.

UFO's

This is a list of my Unfinished Objects.  Not Unidentified Flying Objects.  The only way it would be an Unidentified Flying Object is if I were to throw a foreign object across the room in frustration.  LOL!!!

This list looks a little overwhelming....don't shake your head.  I get in my funks and don't feel like doing much of anything.  I've been real good about not getting in a funk in the last few months. BTW, there's still quite a bit of time to either put a big dent in it or get all done (as long as I don't get off on another tangent and start something else which I am prone to do).  =)
