Weekend done....week ahead to sew!

Bonnie Hunter's Jamestown Landing

If everything was at hand and all I had to do was sew, it would be so easy. But it seems that every time I need something or start a new project...it is 20-30 minutes of searching for a pattern, book or just the right coloured fabric. Only good thing about it, is my storage area of such things is in the basement and my studio is on the main floor of the house...so I get in a few more steps each time.

So I have made and put the binding on one large quilt. Jamestown Landing and it is almost sewn to the back by hand. I have also made and sewn binding to another quilt.I finished this top over 12 years ago. About time it was finished.A friend challenged me to make it while she was making one for herself. I got the top done quickly but didn't want to hand quilt it and didn't want to incur the expense of long arm quilting it until now. My friend Susan did the long arming for me. That will be the next binding to get finished.

start of a stocking

Yesterday with many steps to the basement, I started this Christmas project, a stocking. It will be very cute when it is finished but it is a surprise so...shhhh!!!! This is all you get to see for now.

This is also voting day locally. It means big changes for our household as my hubby has been the deputy mayor for the last 4 years and will be replaced tonight after all the votes are counted. I cannot say I will be sad to see the end of those days...meetings and time away from home. Getting my "honey do list" updated and ready as he will have more time now!!

More sewing to come this week...feeling ambitious and hoping for good sewing days! Might start a new Christmas quilt along over at Temecula Quilt company-Secret Santa Sew Along. Anyone else want to take the plunge with me and my friend Kathy!!?
