Yesterday, I finished the binding on a large throw for my Dad. I am in the middle of a binding on a Christmas D9P for a dear neighbor. Her mother died this year and they both made crochet blankets when my 19 year old was born. Then I have the flannel pieces cut out for a sister's toddler grandson, a rag quilt. They live in Tampa and the fabric has great kiddie pirates on it. I think I should now step away from the computer! May you all have the strength to continue through the night and may the gremlins stay away from your sewing machines. Happy Holidays...

Stressed out too. I have one more quilt to bind and make a fleece blanket. I made 7 quilts for gifts, 7 quilted tote bags, and 2 fleece blankets. I say I am not doing this to myself every ear, but it happens. Can't wait till after the holidays to work on some swaps I am doing. Oh yes I have a label to put on Nov. Dec. doll quilt.

I'm just about onto my last bit... just got to bind a 90x90 quilt log cabin quilt for my eldest sister. I'm so glad that I'm finished at work for the holidays, so I can have a full day at it tomorrow and see how far I can get.
Also, she's coming to our house for Christmas dinner, so she's opening her prezzy here... I don't have to deliver it, so I've got right till Christmas morning.
Oh, just remembered... the label too.

I have one oversized lap quilt 1/3 of the way bound.
I have one oversized T-shirt quilt that needs to have one side of binding un-sewn, and re-sewn, and then that needs to be tied.
Both need laundering. I have no more days off till Christmas, and I work RETAIL!!!!( Not to mention the other holiday projects I am working on.....)
Good luck everyone!

Well, thursday I decided that I would make aprons for my 3 daughters, my sons current girlfriend and his ex girlfriend (who is like a daughter) I got 2 done Friday, got 3 done Saturday, then decided to make myself one and since my Husbands family is going to be here for Christmas I think that i am going to make 3 more for my MIL, SIL and BIL's wife. I have 3 half done, with 2 more to even cut out. I think I need to get sewing.
I'm also thinking of making some hot pads as well with the scraps.
Crazy, I know!!

I was working on a I Spy quilt for my niece but main sewing machine had to be repaired so I used back up machine, BIG MISTAKE!! The seams weren't working, I was rushing to get it finished. Long story short, I will be giving it to her in February with some adjustments to it.
Now I am making some fabric covered journals for my sister in laws and fabric kleenex holders.

I'm not stressing about my quilting - I know it won't get done. My DD gave me a project (full size bed) on the17th and thought I could finish by the 25th!
So I started, but am concentrating on getting the house clean for company, rather than quilting non-stop.
I'm nearly done with a lap quilt for my DH - hand quilting it.
Those are my current priorities...
