11.28.12

Well here we are at the end of November ! Things have finally slowed down here. I need to get my x-mas things out of the closet  and see what I actually have ready for gifts but I look at the closet and close the door again!!  This weekend I will have the house to my self as my son is going off to another car show out of town so I will dig out the gifts and the decorations at the same time!!






I have spent the first part of this week getting all my bom blocks caught up ready to sew. I have  esthers blocks left to get ready this week  but I want to spend a little more time on hers and get the colors right.  I'm not too happy with my last two blocks I think I will have to go back later and add some embelishments to some of the blocks  but I will see when I put them together. Maybe they will look better once I have the borders on to brighten the pale colors. I can't wait to get the quilt put together.

I started a lap quilt for my sons girlfriend for x-mas but she wanted sneakers  so I got that instead. I might still give her the quilt if I get it done before the end of december but I won't rush it now. I got all my packages and cards mailed last friday  well I thought I did but I messed up with one data base so making anther x-mas exchange gift this week and will get it mailed hopefully this weekend!!  I have it all ready to sew then I have the embroidery to do on it  before I can put it all together. I can't show a picture as I don't know if she reads the blogs!! Its a surprise!!!  I will post after the holidays  I actually wouldn't have minded making one like it for my self!!!  Funny how the rushed things come out the best !!!

Esther I hope your cleaning is going good!! I loved the flowers that you did for this month my dilema
I love both carnations and daffodil have special meaning in our family so I think I will have to make one for the quilt and one for a wall hanging!!

Oh I did make a few mug rugs as well for x-mas .

well  hope you all have a great week !!

  2. You have lots of BoMs on the go. The blocks look great. You seem to be on top of the gifts. Well done.
