Let's up the font size. Is that better?
Yesterday I attended both the morning and evening meetings where we had the chance to exchange stories and laughs about some of our oldest UFOs. I have a feeling that we didn't see some of the oldest.
Joan M. won the morning's prize for the oldest for her stamped cross stitch piece that had the date of 1970 stitched on it. Truly priceless work. Her Xs were crossed in both directions - she pointed that out, not me. We may have convinced her to frame it unfinished for her anniversary. LOL
In the evening, Phyllis C. won the prize for a FIBUFO (okay, that's a fill in background unfinished object) from 1967. In this case it was a version of the serenity prayer on tan penelope canvas. As Phyllis said, I didn't win a prize for oldest UFO. I won for being able to locate the oldest.
I suspect Phyllis is right. And that some of us have older projects that we just didn't bother searching for.
Congratulations to our prize winners. You've both come a long way in your stitching journeys!
