Merry Christmas

Hello Everyone, sorry it has been a while since I last posted but a lot has been going on around here.
Dear Hubby had a knee replacement the first of the month so I spent almost two weeks taking care of him before returning to work.  He is doing great on his recorvery. 

Then there was finishing shopping for Christmas and the baking and cooking, you all know the routine.  We did have a very good Christmas this year.  I have to brag on him because he got me something I have had my eye on for a good while now.  It is a 1950 Singer Featherweight and I am one happy gal.  Can't wait to figure out how to get the bobbin out of it so I can change from red thread to neutral and do some sewing.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas this year!!!!

Happy Stitching Everyone!!

Sewing Up a Storm

Sorry it's been so long since I posted.  I have been busy, lots going on around here.  Leaves to be blown and a garden to take down and all that good stuff.

I have however managed time for sewing and quilting.  I made 4 pillowcases for our guild that went to ADFAC and I managed to get my blocks for the block drawing finished in time. 

I also have been working on a very special project for Christmas.  Sorry I can't reveal to much about it just in case the person it's for stumbles across my blog.  I will post pics after Christmas with the story. 

I have also made 2 of the 3 pillowcases for the great neice and nephews for their Christmas and I have a pillow to make for the youngest great nephew, as he is not big enough for a regular pillow yet.  I also have my fabric for their stockings that have to be made and hung on the mantle at Mom's for Christmas.  I am going to embroidery their names on the pillowcases and stockings for them.

I hope this will be a very good Christmas for the little ones!!!

Happy Quilting Everyone!!!

Maggie's Back to Normal

My baby is back to her old self.  She is running and playing ball and wagging her tail again.  So glad that she is feeling lots better.  She really gave us a scare.

Fall is my favorite time of year and it makes me want to stay home instead of having to go to work.  It would be nice to just be able to go to the mountains and enjoy the leaves.  It is peak season in the Smokies now. 

All the fall colors are making me want to start my maple leaf quilt that I have been putting off for years.  But it will have to wait a little longer as I have 3 others in progress (all Bonnie Hunter's) and a binding to sew on another one. 

I am in the cleaning mood at home and there are just not enough hours in the day to do everything that I would like to do.  I am getting to work on my hexagons a little each night though. 

Happy Quilting Everyone!
