Finished embroidering monograms on 3 gift tea towels tonite. Table runner staring at me - needs rest of hand quilting finished, then binding. It will be mine, so easy to put on back burner. I wish to get some projects cut out and bagged up to take along when we migrate south after Christmas. I've made about a dozen pairs of potholders for gifts.

pick up a customer baby quilt on Wed and think that is the last customer quilt (I do have a few good friends/customers that I'd do a "last minute" one for, but hope that doesn't happen!)before Christmas. I did get two of my own quilted, binding on the one for youngest g-son done tonight, other still needs binding but it's a lap quilt so won't take that long. Still do need to make stockings for son's family--I quilted the front and just need to make up the stockings--now I need to find our stockings as a pattern! Also 3 pairs of flannel pants for Christmas presents--but they go quick. And between now and early Feb I have to put together 3 memory quilts for a customer--easy designs but I'm sweating that I won't have enough shirts/pants fabric to pull this off. but need to bake cookies also this week for several gatherings.

This week I am working on 5 blanket wraps. They are Christmas gifts for my husband, two sons and two of the grand kids.
The wraps help with the heating bill...lol...Our son's share a house that is about 2400sq ft. And their landlord said the heating bill might run about 500 bucks a month! So instead of jacking up the thermostat they can wrap up.
Sometime next week I expect to be "down" for a few days. I am having 6 teeth pulled and my top denture put in place.
The Dentist's assistant said I would have to take it easy for a few days as not to risk getting "dry socket".

Flannel shirts sound very nice. Reminds me of the time I made flannel pj's for my brother in law and his wife. Out of animal print LOL!

I am almost done *piecing* my blue horse wall hanging collage and then I will get it sandwiched and ready to start the quilting.
I have all the fabric for a throw but still can't find a pattern I love and of course, I've got my queen size batik quilt that I am FMQ'ing to fall back on, should I run out of things to do. I feel like I will ALWAYS have that quilt to fall back on because it will never be done.

Isn't it wonderful to make something for ourselves! Throughout the year I work mainly on customer's quilts, but look forward to working on my own. Just a little piecing for myself now and then really keeps me inspired to work on customer's quilts. Then in December each year it is time for me and I get so excited; then when January rolls around I am anxious to get back to work on customer's quilts.
