I am trying to finish Bow Ties are Cool I am down to borders and binding. The borders are on (simple plain black since I didn't want to detract from the pieces "timey wimey" inner border) but not quilted yet. The binding hasn't been started yet but it will be bias cut red stripe.
I love the work done by Edyta Sitar. I hope you'll post a progress pic.

I love this bom because there are monthly videos where she shows how to make each block. Great instructions for a newbie at these skills.
Cheese, you are very prolific. I haven't gotten that many pieces done in my entire quilting career!

Now that it's finally cooler here in the south, we are pruning many of the bushes in the yard. This coming Sunday we plan to leave to go to Wisconsin for the holidays and will return to the south right after Christmas. So much to do in so little time!

And SBG, you're outdoing yourself! Everything for the children sounds wonderful.

And I have 8 hand embroidered (out of 50) state bird and flower blocks done for a quilt. Those are so much fun, I could work on them all day long. And lets not forget the red knitted pony for one of the GB's Christmas presents... Too many things. But, all fun!
Your leaves sound a bit like a nightmare to make but they turned out lovely, didn't they?

Need to wrap all the 12 days of Christmas gifts and cut out a Christmas wall hanging to take with to work on during a retreat next Monday through
Wednesday. Feel like life is just rushing right by me but love making all the fun small ornaments. Next year I am going to be cutting down dramatically on all my commitments. The booms aren’t commitments they are joyous and fun
Too bad you are kept from your quilting bc of work. It's unfair! (LOL, I wish we got to chose all the time whether to work or sew.)

Hav, the red bear is perfect. No wonder Mom laid claim to it. How special they will all be for your family members.

I went over the weekend and bought safety eyes and noses. Now I need to find the perfect ribbon. I’m going to order hearts from Etsy that have been embroidered with “hugs from poppy” to put over the bears heart.
The one above is my practice bear. My mother recognized this shirt and has claimed this bear.
Pretty block, Bibliostone!

I am getting more and more excited about soon getting all these lovely blocks to make into a beautiful quilt. I Figured I should check in now. I am seeing baby quilts in the making a bright red and blue for a granddaughter and a series of new blocks for the Boom 23. This is all heartwarming and makes my day today.
