Well, only four sewing days left before I leave for family on Sunday. Oh yes, and I still need to work, and get everything corrected and grades entered and reports printed and everything ready for the first day of classes in January. But I am almost done with all of the small wall quilts that I am making for everyone for Christmas.
Some basic observations.
- Some quilts have taken 12 years to finish while one was just started Saturday and is almost finished.
- It is much easier to free motion quilt when you remember to drop your feed dogs.
- That binding a quilt with 16 outer and 10 inner corners is not a lot of fun. Thank you Patti in Phx for directions. I was mostly successful.
- My other half has an unlimited supply of head shakes, heavy sighs, chuckles, hugs, and understanding of my insanity.
- That I love this craft and being creative and experimenting.
So, I am back to sewing on the last binding, then beading the center of my poppies, and sewing together my ultra-suede Daffodils, attaching hanging sleeves and labeling them all. Pictures, of course I will be taking pictures, and will have them posted, probably not until after I get back on the 2nd. Oh dear, I feel a surge of panic again. I need to get back to sewing.
Happy holidays to you and yours. Warm wishes, thoughts and hugs.
