This is your support group to power through these projects! I'm off to my sewing room with my coffee right now. Oh, and I'm hosting a Christmas party tomorrow.

For a change, I put my sewing machine away Satrurday morning. (except to sew a strap back on my purse a few minutes ago)

I stopped on Sat too. I got very sidetracked by life at the beginning of the month so I had to give up. I get back to work on things on Wed night/Thurs morning.

it's now 9:30pm on Christmas Day--I had to send IOU's to my brother and sis-in-law for lapquilts--I'm in KS and they are in ID and I swear it takes about a week to get stuff to them either UPS or USPS--that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! My sis-in-laws is still on the long arm and I'm cogitating what to do with it.
I'm tired of always rushing to finish stuff by Christmas--and forget other holidays, they are totally not happening. How about some of you more organized quilters forming a "Christmas Rush Recovery" group and getting the rest of going on stuff in June?? I need your help!
