'Tis the Season


This week has flown by.  I can't believe I haven't had a post since Monday!  I need to figure out how to slow down a bit.  The fog is heavy today so maybe the grey skies will keep me inside.


A lot of Christmas sewing is going on here.  I can't wait until next week's "Sewing Christmas" to show you a special gift I made for my husband.  He's seen me working on it and I can't wait to share it with all of you!


I got out my favorite Christmas quilting book last week and got started on a new project.  I love working with the colors of Christmas.


If you need any inspiration to get you motivated to start working on gifts, pick up any of the Christmas magazines that are hitting the shops, they are great this year!

Joyfully,

  2. I just picked up a little more Christmas fabric yesterday. I don't know why, but I feel like it's time. . . I guess since I make most of my presents I need to start early. I have that quilting book by the way, I love it too! Maybe if I blog about my projects it will keep me from procrastinating!! Worth a try!
    Have a great day, stay inside and sew.

  10. Renee I have been itching to sew with Christmas fabrics and I want to quilt them up but I get so frustrated with my seams matching. This morning I ran across a different technique to try. I hope it works. Or maybe not as I would never leave my sewing room! Lovely images...Renee
