Its 1:30 am and I just stopped sewing for tonight. I am working on Christmas place mats and runners for my married daughter and son. Finally decided on what fabrics from my huge stash. Also today I finished a lap quilt for a cousin and just need to tie a turning twenty for my SIL for his semi. Busy day!!!

It's too bad we all don't live near each other and could get together and have a great big quilting session, maybe have sort of a group like automotive assembly lines with some doing cutting for all, others binding, pinning sandwiching, etc. That would really be great.

msuewhite: Yours is gorgeous too. It's sure fun to have granddaughters to make them for. I'm also going to - or hope to - make a quilt for my 98 year old dad using old pictures of him and his family. He's been fixated on pictures of himself and his parents, so I thought a lap quilt with the old pictures would really keep him warm, in spirit and body.

Does anyone remember who posted the darling pic. of the apron made from Bib overalls? I bought a couple pair at the thrift shop here but I'm at a loss as to what she did with the straps. If you are on this thread, please pm me. thanks Gerbie

77 DAYS!?!?!?! I have the fabric for aprons and potholders from last year that didn't get done and Plan B had to be initiated. I better get busy or will have to come up with a Plan C. :shock: :shock: :shock:
