Christmas Through the Year~~

I joined Darlene and Cheryl (see sidebar) to keep myself motivated to make a few gifts through the year so I wouldn't be so overwhelmed in December.  It's a great concept, isn't it? :-)

The hard part is the follow through! But I am determined. ;-)

January's projects are a few pillowcases~



And I made two if these little quilts~ one for me and one to give. This is a Sherri Falls pattern, and was really fun to stitch. And I used my Thimbleberries fabrics to border them for Thimbleberries Sew Days last week. ;-) I love two-fers! LOL They are not wonky!~ :-o I think the floor boards give that illusion. ;-)



I hope you are finding time to stitch/sew a few little gifts too!
Until next time~
Have a happy! :-)

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
