well, they all are actually....especially during a pandemic. but even with a major holiday looming, sewing is on the front burner. today i'll be cooking my two donations to dinner thursday but sewing is the primary task. first, though, i wanted to show you this....
the top is done and ready to baste and machine quilt, just in time for christmas decorating. the top row is a skosh narrower than the others but there is NO WAY i am going to take out any of those teeny tiny seams..first i'll try some magic sizing and then baste real quick...LOL...this was a fun little project and i've the perfect backing for it too...
perfect don't you think? along with this, i finished 2 tops for the guild and got all my remaining 45 trees cut out and ready to sew.....
had sorta decided to postpone this task but the huge pile of christmas stash was taking up half my ironing station. did manage to use up lots of small pieces, so am thinking maybe one more christmas quilt will use up most of them...with the leftovers planning on some strippie christmas stockings to donate or sell at some point. might call it "in a quarantine forest"....an unreal place where trees don't look like they should and there is no rhyme or reason to the norm.
will be spending the holiday with my daughter and son-in-law--he has to work (hospital) but she and i have some fun things planned. holidays are especially tough for her...long dreamed-for children never happened and missing her extended family, plus midlife and this crazy pandemic make for a disappointing situation. we have our strong faith for comfort and still plenty of blessings for any day, not just thanksgiving....
Your little quilt turned out great. Love the backing. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
