I almost feel like I should reintroduce myself, it has been over one month since I have blogged anything. YIKES!! Well let me explain a bit...DISCLAIMER we are a hunting family..Hunting season is the short period of time between quilting season and the Christmas holidays. It takes up a bit of our time in this household. It was a successful year for us and the freezer is full. DH got a beautiful deer that he is getting mounted to hang in our family room. This is also the year that he is no longer on local municipal council.So we have started our long awaited renovations. One room is done and 4.5 rooms to go. Half a room is my kitchen that just needs a few things including a new counter top.
This week I have completed my shopping and all my baking for the holidays. So I have time to breathe and catch up with you all. The sewing room has been long neglected. |I was doing so well in the Fall but that came to a complete stop.

I had an order for a stocking and quilt for a new grandbaby for a friend of mine.Pictures will have to wait till after Christmas. After that I just wanted to do some patchwork. I picked up a baggie full of partially finished blocks. So I took on the challenge and in a week got the top done and quilted. I had just enough fabric for binding and had to skimp a bit on the size. Should have known better because while I was hand sewing the binding to the back of the quilt, I found a few spots where the seam allowance wasn't good enough. So now I have to take it apart and try again!! grrrrrr! When it is finished it will be going to the Children's Mental Health ward at our local hospital. I have give several quilts to this organization.
I have been knitting Christmas presents too. So today is just for me. Cleaning and tidying up the sewing room, I might even get to sewing!
It is a busy time so I am sending my wishes to you now for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy your time with family and friends!
