A lovely year of finishes-Jan Goal

A Lovely Year of Finishes

This year I'm hoping to participate each month with an unfinished object/work in progress. I currently don't know how many I have but I do know there's quite a few, from quilts to dresses and even a pile of stuffed animals.

January Goal-
Chris's Quilt

I need to make a coordinating swoon block, surround it with the blocks I received from 3x6, back-quilt- bind in time for my oldest 18 birthday ( feb3 )

Secret Santa Pt 2

Here is what I received :-)
A quilted table topper ( fits perfectly on my dinning table as its center piece)
2 cup rugs ( that's what I'm calling them) I have one by my computer and one by my sewing machine they hold my cold/hot cups
An ornament and a coffee cup

I'm very pleased with it all

Secret Santa Pt 1

What I sent out-

Over on FB I took part in a Secret Santa Swap. We had a list of items we could choose from, I kinda just kept going once I got started. I started out with the idea of a sewing machine cover, then it got turned into a wall hanging and since I had enough tumblers left over I went ahead and made a mug rug and sewing caddy too.

New sewing space

We needed to flip flop things around here at the home.
I converted one wall of the living room into a mix of office/sewing space and covered up the pointless propane fireplace while at it.

November project

Over at Hopeful Threads this month we were sewing stockings of cheer to collect and give to children's hospitals. Below I'm showing a few, I did sew up a total of 8 all going to be collected here on the west coast.
The bottom stocking in blue and white hexs was actually a block from SewBitterSweetDesigns that I played with and converted into the following.
