early to rise means...

early to sew of course!  housework on hold until after lunch (and ? nap) so first thing did some sewing on my to-do list.  my small group does a HUGE amount of charity sewing and, worker bee that i am, glad to contribute.  was handed a jelly roll and a packet of precut pieces for 2 lap robe tops.  all i have to do is get the tops ready and somebody else will machine quilt--a truly win/win situation.  now one caveat, you may want to shield your eyes before you look too closely.  i chose the baggie with the brightest colors and wasn't at all disappointed....see what you think.

was instructed to sew the 3 pieces together, lay them out and turn, and this is the finished top.  bright primary colors with plum to boot...how good is that!   the jelly roll is soft pinks, greens and creams and isn't quite ready to show.  then here is the tabletopper that grew up to be a tree skirt for my little christmas tree....all done and ready to tuck away until needed.

and since christmas has been gone awhile now, probably time to take down these as well....

i left them up to remind me there really WAS a christmas, since the cardio grinch sorta stole mine.  i'll save a couple of special ones and put them away with the tree skirt for december's enjoyment.
