Week 20 !! Can you believe it ! There is so much going on in my life right now, I'm soo busy that when I get a free moment I just fall asleep in the chair. I love the Holidays but they are exhausting! I don't know how you ladies find the time to sew right now. Soon, soon for me --I hope. Anne

I find time to quilt because no family coming in for Christmas, no preps to make, no gifts to exchange, no decor to do; we are retired. Its too cold to go outside, too broke to go shopping even for quilting supplies.

Besides I have a very large amount of material on hand for quilting; it will be challenge to finish all of them in this lifetime.

Love making these blocks and remembering the pets on the farm; very special friendship and I loved them all. Ponies, horses, cats, dogs, sheep, hogs, and chickens.

Anne, I'm not sewing right now...just posting blocks sewn BEFORE it got crazy! No stress...you'll catch up when you can. The holidays can be tiring, can't they?

I enjoyed this week's blocks. Felt like a break from last week's that I really struggled with. I have one more wall hanging to bind and then my Christmas sewing is done!! (Don't laugh--I started it in July!! Yes, I'm anal).

Not anal... smart!

The author very kindly put simple blocks after crazy ones yet again. I think I like her.

I have not started these blocks either. Got 2 table runners to bind, then maybe have time to get to them. Just too much Christmas "stuff" to do. Also doing the Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt. Behind on that one too!

I also have fallen behind this week, there just seems to be too many other things going on. Hopefully after Christmas I can catch up again.
My book and fabric are sitting beside my sewing machine so it is not forgotten
With only 4 days till Christmas on my side of the world I hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas
