This is my first go round with the whole Secret Santa on this board and didn't realize I was supposed to wrap every little thing in the entire package!!! Uh oh!!! Did I screw up??? Hope not. I did write - in red & green on the back of the package - 'from your Secret Santa' so hopefully she won't open it til Xmas. We'll see. . . . .

I'm taking (another) break from sewing. I 'needed' a cup of mocha!
Am working on a panel quilt, for my great-niece. Just in case anyone connected with the little sweetheart happens to read the QB, I'll wait until after she receives it, to tell more. I'd like for it to be a surprise. After I finish this, I need to get to work on one for my great-nephew. Then sometime in the very near future, I really, really need to make one for my SON!!! Bless his heart! He won't tell me what color(s) he'd like, so his has been pushed to the back burner. I'm hoping that by the time I finish these other two, I'll have made up my mind about his. Needless to say, I have several combinations of possible fabrics, to use. You know the routine - buy one set of fabric, then decide on a different set, then another. . . . <sigh> ANYWAY, these other two will hopefully be finished in time for Christmas. The little girl's is almost finished. Just need trimming and binding, then clipping of stray threads. The little boy's is just a certain arrangement of squares. I'm expecting an order from Thousands of Bolts, any day now. Needed more greens and had already picked over the ones from my stash and at Hobby Lobby.
Always nice, when one's printer decides to just start making noise, out of the blue, all on its own!!! It's a wireless printer and dh isn't home, so I keep expecting some stranger's document to show up on my printer! Turns out it was just doing its thing, whatever that is! Crazy contraption!

Well . . . the current quilt is a bit of a 'cheater' quilt. I just added a border and a little embroidery personalization to it. Quilting is diagonal cross-hatching and a few heart outlines. As if that wasn't easy enough, it's just under the width of the backing, so no piecing there. The little girl is only three years old, so it's the perfect size . . . and super quick! For super quick quilts, a panel is definitely the way to go!

You newbies can kick back and relax when it comes to wrapping. Last year I didn't just so I could squeeze as much as possible into the box. This year I wrapped all but a few items to add to the fun for my Santee. Last year the package I received had everything individually wrapped. Will I have multiple things to unwrap this year? Finding out is just one more part of the fun of playing the Secret Santa Swap!
