What's Happening

I've been working on a few Christmas gift projects this past week.   I have also been spending way too much time on the computer.  I changed my primary email address and that has caused me a bit of trouble but I think it will all work out soon.  So, if you see anything odd on my blog please make sure to let me know. I am keeping my old email address for a while and all emails will be forwarded to my new one.  Its going to take me a bit of time to let all my contacts know my new address.

  On to some  fun things....

For participating in Sew Sisters Blogathon Canada, they were so kind to send me a fat quarter bundle of the yummiest fabrics  and also included was a six-patch of thread from sponsors, Aurifil.  Thanks! I love it! 



Remember the awesome knitted/felted bag that KnittySister made for her daughter?
 We finished it off.  I made the lining and handsewed it in and added a cute little pocket that I made using a postcard stamp and added a little message.  She is just going to love this!





The photo below shows my daughter holding the tablecloth that my Mother stitched for her.  Mother will be 83 on Sunday and always has a stitching project on the go.  



I was  given this sweet little toy Singer machine by a friend.  Takes batteries and makes a very nice chain stitch.  You can see from the date on the original box that it is from 1976. 




After swirling the heck out of The Weddin' Quilt (Still waiting to get a nice photo) you would think I had enough of that stitch, but noooo,,,I couldn't resist swirling away on this Christmas project.  More on this one soon.




Hope you have time to get some quilting done today!
