It's a Wrap

Cats in Christmas Pajamas is done. I knew I could get this done in an afternoon. 

I love the color of this Cuddle. I just quilted 3 inch squares. I took a picture of it and wrapped it up. 

I wasn't sure about the dresses but they are finished and wrapped. 

They are ready for a ride to Kansas in a mail truck. 

Merry Christmas to me. I ordered to these Moda scissors and I love them. Try them. 

Happy Christmas projects to you....

Squeezing In

I like to make my sewing room more welcoming during the holidays. I found this picture when I got out my Christmas stuff. What a happy surprise. Then when I squeeze in a minute or two it's an easy choice. 

My new cross stitch project. I love Fall colors.

A needle in my fingers makes me happy. 

Creating Presents

I brought this fabric and pattern home from Hawaii. Todd thinks his girls will enjoy these American Girl size dresses for Christmas. I have two more to go. 

I finished this. I encountered a problem when I started the binding. 

I always say that we, people, are in charge of the fabric. If I had seen this before I quilted, I would have used a different method, but I missed it. I didn't tell a single sole. It's between you and me. 

It was a nice shower with many sweet friends and family. 

Grandma life is the best...

All I want for Christmas is needlework...and Moda scissors....

Good Weather

I have been praying for good weather so I could get my last two quilts sandwiched using the deck.

I'm not say that there is no organic material in there, but there are no big leaves in there.

I did get out my Christmas stuff. It inspires me to get a o work. 

Enjoy your week....

Be grateful for  the blessings you have, no matter how small....

Maybe ??

I got the baby quilt put together.

And the back came. I may get it done for the shower.

I am now outlining. It's been a journey.

And I'm working on this. 

I have 2 more quilts that I want to finish before Christmas. So I guess I'll put up my sewing room Christmas lights and keep working.

Just keep stitching....

November

After an incredible Indian Summer, November has come with November weather. Which is good, but I really enjoyed the warm Fall.

I rarely have to thread my serger. It's a good thing because I end up taking it apart. I dropped a screw in the bottom of this. I was ready to tose the entire machine when Wes came home and saved the day.  It's nice to live with a sewing machine repairman.

I ended up buying new glue, which worked wonders, and then added the hangers. I had never used this big curved needle, but it worked great. 

It felt like a fight to get this time, but I finished the cat squares. Now, to put it together and then quilt it. I may make it for the baby shower.

Thankful for the projects that I have and the projects that I complete.....

So Many Projects, So Little Time

I finished the daisies and am on to the cats. I don't think I can finish this for the baby shower, but maybe for Christmas. 

The cats are one step closer to being ornaments. 

I also need to finish Cats in Christmas Pajamas for Christmas. 

I did finish the last doll skirt.

It's a lot for me to do while I'm going to when I'm working. 

Keep a needle in your hand and a smile in your heart......
