Sewing Along~

I've started working on Christmas gifts and projects and also on finishing a few things. :-) I love to have more than one thing going at a time~ no time to get bored! LOL

I tested mitten making when a friend on HGTV found this video~ Mitten Making  ~recycling sweaters into mittens. I don't think I felted the sweater enough (I was too excited to get sewing) ;-) They are little big~ I also forgot to look for a sweater with ribbing for the mitten cuff. I'm going to adjust the pattern a bit and try again. I love wearing mittens when trying to clear the side walks, scraping ice off the car window etc. :-)

The newest issue of Quiltmaker magazine (page 64) has this table topper pattern in it. They did it up in summer colors, but I immediately thought 'Christmas'! I'm not sure if this will be a Secret Santa gift, or if I will make something else. :-)

And finally I got this large quilt top together. :-) It is 'Imagine' from Carrie's book Schnibbles Times Two.  I cannot remember the name of the layer cake. :-o Do you know?  I no longer have a big hall for laying out tops, so this is half of it. I am hoping to go quilting in November. ;-)

That's all the news from here~ I hope you are having a great weekend!
Until next time~
 Happy Stitchin'!
