It’s looking a lot like Christmas at my job….I won’t have much time to do any sewing this coming month since I’ll be delivering packages 6 days a week thru Christmas! I really dread the next 3 1/2 weeks….no rest for me, and very long days driving and delivering. The good thing to come out of this will be my larger paycheck which I’ve already spent at Joann’s on line during their Black Friday sales….wonderful bargains and free shipping! WooHoo! Baby flannel for $1.99 a yard and all notions 1/2 price! I could spend a bunch more too, but I’ve got to control myself.
I just got three quilts back from my quilter Kelly….now I only need to get them bound….someday anyway. The Winter Wonderland is for my sister for Christmas, so I’ll have to get it done soon. I love to do redwork, this is the 3rd quilt like this I’ve made and I’m thinking of doing one in black very soon.
This was a BOM….Paris in Fall…all reds, browns and tans.
Who doesn’t love Kansas Troubles? I think I’m getting tired of it and then I see the quilts I’ve done with it and I fall in love all over again. This log cabin Kansas Troubles quilt is one I’m keeping for myself….It’s the second one like it I’ve done…..the first one I gave to Barb, my sister…Mom cut out all of the flowers and ironed them on the blocks…so it’s a quilt that mom helped me with so it’s kind of special.
My jar table runner that is quilted and bound now….I love it! And here is another one I just finished that needs to be quilted. These are so easy and fun to do….
And another quilt I’ve started for my granddaughter Emersyn….These blocks are very time consuming, and I’ve already made a large quilt out of these for my daughter Lesley….When I went and visited her this past month I saw it on one of her beds, it had been washed and it looked so soft and inviting, it made me want to make another one, only this one will be much smaller. These blocks are 12 1/2 inches unfinished, and you have to sew a lot of curved seams to finish a block. I plan on putting a snow white border on and then some large green rick rack for stems of appliqued flowers, I also plan on putting her name on in large black letters in the border too. Hard to explain, but I have it all in my head how I want this to look. Hopefully it will look as good as I think it can. 
And last but not least are my scarves…I finished four more and these are for my sister Wendy to give as Christmas gifts.
Have a very Merry Christmas and remember the reason we celebrate Christmas….Our savior Jesus Christ was born!
Happy Quilting
Kris
