SEWING GOODNESS

While I was waiting for my son to come in (driving from Arizona), I started prep work on this quilt.

Then the next day while waiting for him to get up (he had been awake for 24 hours), I finished the top and started quilting it.

Then while the guys went to Bass Pro, I put the binding on.

Indian Summer fabrics from Inchworm Fabrics.
and....the binding on this quilt as well.
It feels so good to be back in a sewing room. Even better that the mess is contained to one room and not the whole downstairs.

REINDEER GAMES

Today's reindeer is Donner, you can get the pdf here
You can go to Caroll's blog here for her embroidery version.

Here is the giveaway so far......just stay tuned and I will tell you when to comment. Every two weeks I will be adding something else.

I have a son coming from Japan to visit today, so once again it will be hit or miss with me.

Then another son will be coming in two weeks......happy days.

SEWING ROOM

I just wanted to start off by saying that I do not have my sewing room the way I want it yet and for some reason boxes keep sneaking up to my sewing room.....when will it end?????

So.......Tuesday I prepped 12 Christmas towels which I can't show yet.

Why so early, well...my husband says that if I don't have something to worry about or feel guilty about I am not happy. To prevent myself from worrying, I prepped them and will do them at my leisure.

I also made this one for the reindeer games, I am adding it to the pile of things I am giving away at the end of the games......

Yesterday I meandered these quilts....now the big OOOOOOLLLe mistake

I don't have binding for the one on top...can't find the fabric anywhere. I say POOEY!!!!

I just might bind it in white. Why am I telling you this, so I will remember next time to cut my binding when I have cut my quilt. Maybe I need to put a sticky note up somewhere?

Now where are those sticky notes?

FUN TABLE TOPPERS

Had a little fun last night..... I had cut these out at my mother's and last night decided to whip them up.

I don't know if you can see the writing but it says "All things grow with love"....

All I have left to say is......I AM BACK!!!
