The days fly by so quickly. We are lucky enough in Arizona to have had record breaking high temperatures. When we watch the news of weather everywhere else, I almost feel bad for everyone having to endure either floods, snow or below freezing temperatures.
I have been trying to sew a little each day and have a few finished projects.
These are two Christmas placemats that I made for a gift exchange. Our "street" had a party and we played the game where you take a gift or steal from someone else - lots of fun and my placemats got 'stolen' once because a lady really wanted them! A quick and easy project but meant a visit to the quilt shop to get some suitable fabrics!
Tulip Bells Table Runner - UFO finished!
This project was a ufo from approximately 8 years ago. It was in various stages as it was a class sample at the Otter Co-op when they still carried fabrics and allowed us to teach classes there. I think it will look great on my dining room table in our new house.
I have our mobile home (park model) all decorated for Christmas. The Patchabilities that I have made over the years fit perfectly on the small wall spaces that I have available for wall hangings. Through the window, you can see the great Christmas tree we got for free! And across the street is an orange tree. I tried one yesterday and they are NOT sweet yet! My mouth did a major pucker!!
My Arizona Totebag
I made a trip to a local quilt shop with a friend to get some black batting for a wall hanging I am working on and found these charm squares. Perfect size bag for taking show and tell to the quilt meetings! I thought the colours looked perfect for the hot, winter weather we are having.
Off to write myself a list of the projects I want to work on and try to complete in the next couple of weeks. Am hoping it cools off a little here so that I will be motivated to do some Christmas baking!
