I really think some people love to "complain" oh I have to finish "x" amount by tomorrow. No you wouldn't if you'd have started earlier. Please don't get mad at me!! Like I said, I'm really anal and have to have things done in plenty of time. I'm also really slow quilting so it takes me longer than a day.
Peace & joy everyone!!

That is normally what I do too. But this year I got sick so much
that plan flew right out the window. So I had all the shopping to
do right after thanksgiving. I did finish all 5 memory quilts tho.
Made the fudge and cookies on Dec. 23rd. We always have our
company over on Christmas Eve, and that leaves Christmas Day
for us only. So I can now collapse!!

I still have to to finish 2 gifts. I don't want to give any WIP's next year-- I am planning in my head and have started to check my stash to see what I may need to purchase.
