I was totally heads down this weekend to get my second "Paula" quilt done.  My goal this year with Paula's fabrics was to design quilts that didn't require a lot of cumbersome fussy cutting. That aspect of using these fabrics turns some people off. So I wanted to show that these fabrics are really special no matter how they are used. They really do sparkle and I can't wait to share them in color with you. Both of my quilts will be veterans quilts and I will do more just like this one. It was fast and easy but has a huge impact.  My other goal was to get the stitching done on my postcards. One day I stitched the moon and the next day I did the star.  All three designs are through the steps to do stitching. I have to add the backs, serge the edges and add a few embellishments to finish them off. All of those things will be pretty fast to get done this week. My goal each year is to have the Christmas cards in the mail by December 10 and I should be able to do that.  There was plenty of football to watch and I get my second scarf with this yarn started.
This week I've got to get caught up on my actual business and spend a day putting up the Christmas decorations. I also want to finish the postcards and get those out of the way. Then I have to come up with a gift for my girlfriends and get those made by December 9. After the 10th I should have the rest of December free to relax and enjoy the holiday. 11/28/2022 04:47:51 pm

I'm looking forward to seeing Paula's fabric in color. I still have a little of her fabric from the 1990s and have used it in many quilts.

I don't know if you heard the huge sigh of relief from this end of the world this morning as we finished packaging the gifts heading out west. Now just have to wait for the UPS pickup tomorrow. The rest of the gifts just need small amounts of finishing and then it's feet up for me too. I have a heavy 'date' with some books I want to read. Comments are closed.
