January 2022 finish

 I'm running a few days late. :) Yesterday i finished the Christmas table runner i started in December. All i needed to do was quilt it.

Happy Stitching,

January Project

 I feel as though I am off to a good start.  I have finished my first two Christmas gifts for 2022 for my two besties.

Mug Rugs

January Item

 My first item for 2022 is a stocking for my DD#2.

I have more to make so I'll embroider ALL the names a little later...

December finish

I did have a finish but forgot to post it.

A 10 minute table runner which i'm not entirely sure takes only 10 minutes. :)

A December Finish and a Lost Set

 Hello There!

I finished these mittens just in time for them to go on the tree!  This is my third set to have stitched up!

This was my first set.

My second set is lost...

Sadly, I misplace this set....

But, as I tell my husband, "They'll turn up!"

I hope....😏

I also finished some Christmas gifts!

This apron is for my sister - her creativity is in the kitchen.

I made this small table topper for Mama's new home in San Diego using  Melva Loves Scraps Shoo Fly block pattern for the center.  

I simply added borders, binding and presto!  Thank you, Melva!

These oh so basic gift bags finished off my Christmas sewing for the week!

Take good care!

Welcome December

Good afternoon fellow elves.  I've been missing in action due to simply being bogged down in life with crafting and blogging slipping to the bottom of the list.  With the dawning of December it's time to dust off the sewing box and put a little jingle in my step.

This little guy is Belvedere the Rustic Reindeer and will be part of a Secret Santa gift at our local patchwork day. I have a second reindeer in progress for myself.

Thankyou to those who have continued to share their lovely makes within our little group, it's always a pleasure to see what you've all been up to....not long now.

 

November Finish

We have a new grand-kitty this year and he now has his very own stocking.  It is a pattern from Molly Mine Embroidery.

November finish

 Santa table runner from The Birdhouse

Catching Up and Moving Forward

Hello There! 

Life has been a bit hectic since I last posted, but now it's very slow.  Since July I've been making more frequent trips to El Paso to help take care of my parents, at times spending a night or two with them.  In late September, they along with my sister and her husband relocated to San Diego.  Alas, how I miss them!  

In the interim since my last post, I finished this mitten set, 

and this set!

I'm now stitching up this set.  

We went to Mama's house to clean out her pantry

and I found this tray there.

I brought it home.

Reminds me of her.  

Even though the month is almost over, I'll be choosing the

annual Christmas gifts to make for my granchildren.

I'm way behind schedule,

but I'm sure I'll be able to make them something they'll enjoy!

Take good care and Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!

October finish

 

A candlemat

& a pincushion. I've left off the pocket as i just want it as a decoration.

Happy Stitching,

Can't wait to put these out at Christmas.

Happy Stitching,

A Mini Quilt

 

My July Christmas project is this little mini-quilt

from Kim Diehl's book Simple Whatnots.

In taking it around my home for a "photo shoot"

I've discovered that I really like it where it's at

so:  is it a Christmas gift?.....

....or practice for making a Christmas gift?!?

<wink>

Happy gift-making!
