Christmas Gift Quilts 1 & 2
In the days leading up to Christmas, I thought it would be fun to share with you the quilts I am giving to my family members. Not all of these quilt tops were pieced in 2016. They were languishing in a box waiting to be quilted. This was the year it happened. Starting this past…

Even Ozzie Loves a Christmas Quilt
Ozzie loves a Christmas quilt. I caught him napping on my favorite chair in the library, with his whiskers all askew. He doesn't look the slightest bit guilty, just sleepy and a bit rumpled. I wish I had time to take a snooze in my favorite chair with my current favorite Christmas quilt. But I…

Magic of Christmas Keeps on Coming
I made a couple more Magic of Christmas blocks over the weekend. I was rummaging around in one of the drawers in the sewing room dresser and discovered some 1" half square triangle papers, which I had not realized I had on hand. Lisa Bongean, who is sponsoring the Magic of Christmas sew along…

Zippy Bags Done
I finished all my Zippy Bags yesterday. I think I must have made 12 or 13. They go fast if you get into assembly line production mode. Half the fun of these little bags is embellishing them with fun buttons. I picked a bunch up at Joann's awhile back when they were on sale, so…

Well, That Was Pretty Clear!
Goodness, thank you all so much for weighing in yesterday when I was having doubts about what to give my brother in law for Christmas. A full size quilt like I was giving everyone else or a smaller table topper? The majority of you by far said I should do for him as I was…

Men and Quilts
You all know I've been having quilts quilted to give as Christmas gifts to my family this Christmas. My brother in law who lost his wife just a year and a half ago was posing a gift giving dilemma for me. Just before my sister passed away I gave her a beautiful quilt, which hopefully he…

Batik Zippy Bags
I spent the weekend preparing more zippy bags to give as gifts this Christmas. In one afternoon I finished two more and prepped 7. I need zippers and decorative buttons and when I get those I will go into assembly mode and finish them up. I started thinking of all the people who I might…

A Day of Sewing
I feel pretty good about my use of time on my day off yesterday. I got almost all the bindings attached to my Christmas gift quilts. This landing area upstairs outside my sewing room is my staging area for quilts waiting for the binding to be hand sewn down. And Lord love me, do I ever…
