It’s one of the final Mondays before the week of Christmas! Time to evaluate that growing list of projects I need to have done before then and what I can realistically finish before next year. My design wall looks a bit different from last week. I am still cutting out scraps to make potholders and…

My three photos today are things that I’m thanking for – when it comes to quilting. I know and you know that there are important people in my life – and yours – that rank above quilting:) The first is a picture of some of the scrap Christmas fabric that my local quilt store owner…

My design wall hasn’t changed at all this week. I took a picture to prove it:) Priorities change as the holiday season approaches. I have company coming this weekend and I’m trying to decide if I want to change my design wall. Why?Well, right now it is my nicely flannel backed Christmas vinyl tablecloth on…

First today I’m showing off my daughter’s finished project. This is a small wallhanging she made for her cousin. They have been working on a block exchange since last Christmas and really enjoyed it. While I did the cutting and majority of sewing, she chose the colours and block layout. She has plans to make…

Happy Anniversary, sis and husband Joseph. I sent them this tablerunner I made. My sis has an Etsy shop you should peek at. She’s working hard to finish up things for holiday selling – and gift giving. I don’t know how she finds all the time. Well maybe I do – we got those ‘organize…

The tree block is awaiting decisions, the stocking is the backing for when I finish blanket stitching by hand the front…

Here are 3 photos of some of the things I’ve been up to this week in my sewing space: I finished one of two November stockings. I’m doing the free BOM Season of Grace hosted by Pat Sloan and Emilie Richards. I really like him – his red buttons are actually part of the fabric.…

I finally surrendered yesterday to the two year old’s demands and pieced instead of planned. I got another Lady of the Lake block done, put together my daughter’s remaining cousin challenge blocks, made a tree block, and decided I like the reindeer mittens ‘up and down’ instead of even. But more than this, I realized…

Well, much of my time last week was spent making things I can’t show you yet! I also played with some of my new buttons. I tried out trimming some trees. Then I tried another combination. I think the final project will not have trimmings, but I will place the buttons in other spots. I…

No, it’s not BUTTON PIZZA, it’s even better! It’s the little jar of buttons I won on Prairie Moon’s blog! I guessed the closest guess to the actual amount of buttons in the jar and Shelly sent them to me. She has a great website to explore too. I really like them. Want a better…
