I'm home free for Christmas!

I delivered the last customer quilt yesterday - yippe pippy!! Gabrielle loved it, which is a relief, because she is one customer that still makes me very nervous to quilt for, LOL. It was the 12 Days of Christmas panel, and I'll post pictures later. I didn't go with an allover in the middle, but did a loopy background fill, and added some gold thread touches to most of the blocks somewhere. It really did look nice.

So now . . . . . . I can do some sewing and quilting for me & mine ;0) First up, I MUST BIND ELLEN"S QUILT! It's only been done for, oh, 2 years maybe, and waiting on binding. How very sad is that??? I know, big crocodile tears sad! Plus, I have the cute matching doll quilt all done, washed and ready to give her - but it won't match anything if I don't give her the quilt, eh? Oh such a tangled web of UFO's!

I'd also like to get some coasters done for Seester - with leftover Jim Shore playing card fabric. They would be perfect for the family get-togethers when we play Shang-hi all day.

And, I'm going to make Max a cuddly blanket. The girls already have them, and it was easy peasy to make, so I found brown furry fabric and I'll hopefully whip that up while he's at work this Sunday.

OH! AND! There are actually FOUR chickens laying eggs right now - I'm so excited I can barely stand it! Turns out I'm not feeding a flock of complete free-loaders afterall! You know, the first year with chickens went so simple and easy, but this year has been full of little hiccups. Maybe next year will go back to easy.

Off I go to play with fabric and scissors ;0)
peace out and purring . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
