The Countdown Has Begun

 

 

My list of things to complete before Christmas is ALWAYS too ambitious! 

Rather than FRET about it, I'm just going to enjoy the time in the studio and do what-ever I want to do.

This is the time of year to relax and enjoy the process.

The American Patchwork and Quilting UFO number for December is TWO.  (They didn't even have to tell me the number this month....I'm quick that way.)

So far I don't have ANY of the items for #2 even on my radar.  But I WILL finish Ana's new Curtains and Cata's baby doll quilts before the end of the year....not for Christmas.

That's not to say I haven't done anything...I have.  I made a bunch of these cute Quilter's Ornaments.

And, as you can see, I'm putting my Christmas Tree together.

I put a few packages together and will take to the P.O. today.

 

Of Course the Miss Molly Wall Hanging is finished and ready for gifting. HERE

I am working on one more item that I had hoped would be finished by Christmas.  Alas, it will not. 
However, it will make a nice New Year's gift.  

A long-time friend of mine, Miss Martha, asked me to finish this pillow top for her. I do not know the history, where it came from, etc. I'm working on it now.  It requires hand quilting...which I have never done before and am not doing a particularly nice job now.  But, done is better than perfect, right?

I'm adding red borders.

    

 

 

 

It IS beginning to look (and feel) a lot like Christmas.
