Finishing touches

I have spent the last week working on finishing all the gifts I started in October with great intentions of getting done early. Oops. So this week I have:
made my mom a necklace... this one I actually started this morning because somehow I missed her on my list...
Sewn this fabric Frosty the Snowman book for Moo,Finished binding this quilt for my Sister-in-law's mother, who will be joining us for Christmas.This quilt took 12 hours to quilt, and I used 27 bobbins! Not sure I will do pebble quilting this small again, but I love the finished look. Thank goodness it's just a lap quilt!
I have also almost finished a doorway puppet theatre (another post on that later), made a dozen scrapbook pages for my mother-in-law's book, made a dress for a friend's daughter, sewn 8 microwaveable rice bags for an order, finished knitting a hat, and beaded 3 lanyards for namebadges for a coworker. Thank goodness my family is okay with pizza, frozen noodle dinners and spaghetti for dinner!

  1. Thanks for the advice on quilting! Now I'll have to bug my husband to get me a mat and rotary cutter! I am too impatient to ever go back and fix things, so I just let them be ruined. Perhaps I'm too impatient to really work on any big projects :-P
    Congrats on finishing that quilt! It looks amazing!
