Christmas Giving...

I try to stay calm and give priority where it's the most needed right now.
Therefore,
my house is still messy, we ate out this weekend, quilts are still missing the binding (most of them, but not all) and other gifts are still only in my head.
School was the highest priority this weekend. It's just that time of the semester when big semester projects need to be turned in, last quizzes need to be written and professors are summing up everything we worked on so hard for final exams.
BUT,
I was able to fit in a little, tiny project and probably would have finished it if I wouldn't run out of thread. And yes I did at least vacuumed the house.



No, don't worry I am not that quick. I had all the coasters and placemats pieced since last year (project that didn't get done on time for Christmas. Boy, I hope I won't have any of those this year). All I was doing this weekend was quilting and yes ran out of thread, so I have still five placemats waiting.

Great colors in the fabric. I have placemats and coasters in my project ToDo list too.

Great colors - I love these! I'm madly working on Christmas gifts - hopefully by Thanksgiving I'll be mostly done...

These placemats and coasters are so festive. Congratulations on the new niece too! How special that she was named after you.
