Here's something a little different. Something that's incomplete or unfinished could be an old barn a jigsaw puzzle or something broken. Use your imagination and lets see what we can find around the house or in your area.

Here are a couple to get us started.

Ah there you are.

#1 Nick's Heap. Sometimes cleared up
but never totally dealt with. Just keeps
growing. Annie is not part of the heap.

#2 Jay is never gonna get these things
back together in working order. But he
later made something else out of them.

#3 Someday these will finally get hung.
Been sitting there a year and a half .....

#4 Clearly needs work. Sometime after
this photo was made, work has begun.

#5 Temporary wall hides reconstruction
that seems to "progress" at a crawl. At
least that means the mural lasts longer.

#6 No signs of any restoration or even
patch-up. Mural art is "folksy" crude so
it would not require a skilled specialist.

#7 This whole-house job finally ended.
4500 sq ft, plus full cellar. Every detail.

#8 Same project as #7.

#9 A restored version could very likely
prove to speak far less eloquently. Has
a lot to say and says it quite well as-is.

This first photo shows an incomplete quilt of patchwork cat quilt blocks in December of 2018.
With Christmas approaching our son notified us of an unplanned trip to visit with us just after Christmas! So wanting to have the quilt finished to use on my visiting grandaughter’s bed I hurriedly rushed to finish it. However I was not careful and when I placed what I thought was the finished quilt on her bed I noticed that I had sewn the last row of cats on the bottom of the quilt upside down! So this second picture is of an incomplete quilt with an upside down row of cats and the quilt was still without its binding.

This should be interesting. Here are two from me, but I'll probably be back later with more.

These may seem strange, but recycled cardboard for mailing Girl Scout portraits, and homemade "training" hoops to teach embroidery to 12 year old Girl Scouts. (We are making them out of cardboard and plastic containers such as mixed nuts or coffee.)

Love the story with each. I can relate on so many levels with each.

Your heart must have sank when you realized they were upside down!

LOL Oh, for sure! and I resolved on that day of discovery, that they were going to stay that way for now and they did, but Molly loved the quilt as it was! . However it is now a "to do" project at the top of my list as winter is quilting season for me.This topic is leading me to focus and find other unfinished projects.
I have one more set of quilt blocks to show and place on this winter's " to do" list. Thanks for your comment Pat.

Wow,Lori-interesting thoughts! While the kids were visiting-we ended up with a few accidents! Bound to happen but it gives me a chance to try fixing...ha,ha. I'll have several to show for this subject!

Alas...behind the gas fireplace....

This bag of butterfly blocks has been waiting for awhile to have my attention while waiting to reach their stage of completion. I promise,Soon. Working on its finish will transport my thoughts to spring and summer, a good place to be during this cold, snowy, winter season.
A work in progress. A ‘quilt as you go ‘approach. The butterfly block sources are varied. The top row are quilt blocks from a yard sale or flea market quilt and the quilt was showing wear and tear so I saved the better blocks to recycle. The brown butterflies and other embroidered blocks were cut from a jacket my husband had bought for me at a thrift store. The large orange butterfly is a pieced block that I had made and the photo of the folded butterfly within its chrysalis is of a Monarch butterfly I had raised from a caterpillar. The orange sashing is a fabric showing many Monarch butterflies. I have several more rows to add. I find quilt making is better suited to the cooler winter months.
