I also received some Hexie flowers from Anna, just because. She also sent some fabric which is destined to become part of more flowers. Thanks Anna!

Catching up. . .
I need to get caught up on quite a few things today. First, I received another Christmas gift from Di. She sent this beautiful table topper, and it's even hand quilted. She also included a nice little sweater for one of my bears, and a bon-bon. The bon-bon was filled with M&M's, but somehow they seem to have disappeared.
I used the table topper on the table with my hors douevres on Christmas, and received very nice comments on it.

We had a very nice Christmas, filled with family and friends. Santa brought us some gifts, and most of mine were stitchy things. I received fabric, scissors, needles and rotary blades. I'm terrible about changing my rotary blades, so I immediately put a new one in my cutter, and it's amazing how well it works. Why don't I change them more often? I also put a new needle in Fiona, and she's very happy..
I got a little behind on my BSA blocks, but today I mailed off my December and January blocks. This block went to Shannon for December:

I've been working on finishing several small projects, and will have more pictures soon. I'm trying to dig out my sewing desk, and instead of moving the piles around, I'm trying to finish up the project. It feels great. I have a huge list of projects to do, and I'm going to tackle them one at a time. No more buying! Just sewing.

ReplyDeleteLovely gifts you recieved and I love your blocks.
ReplyDeleteLike you I am going to TRY to catch up on my projects but can't promise I will not buy more fabrics.
What great gifts! The hand stitching is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe reason you didn't change your blade is cause they are so darned expensive! But isn't it wonderful to have a new blade. I'm always amazed each time I change it.
Di's table topper is too cute. She did a really good job. Sounds like you had a nice Christmas. And that's what I always say, no more buying just sewing. HarHarHar!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are just a busy little bee, aren't you? I love love love the Jan. block you made. Thanks for answering my question on the Swap Block blog. Call me crazy, but quilt shops actually intimidate me. I'm afraid to ask questions because I don't even know what to ask... LOL.

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely table topper and Christmas gifts you received :-) Those M&Ms wouldn't've lasted long in our house either! Love the two blocks you have made and sent off, a traditional and modern - very nice.
