I got to finish quilting my dh marine quilt, but I had to get some other things out of the way first! So this week I finished
a fleece blanket for my son's girlfriend
a cute scarf for her also
10 flannel baby blankies for a local nursery
a fleece blanket with wavy edge & a little neck travel pillow for a chemo patient
a fleece blanket for my sil ( I hope to make her a quilt but not this year)
some pocket warmers
and some mending done that I needed.
Also, got my sewing room cleaned up, so far I feel productive for a change! Does anyone else feel like this?

You have been busy! In the last couple days, I made 5 pairs of mittens, 3 hats, & have started on fleece socks. Today I made 2 batches of almond toffee, & 2 batches of cookie dough. I feel productive, but I'm tired tonight! (I didn't mention the housework & laundry I did!) I'm going to get up early & try to finish my slippers & bake those cookies! And maybe clean my sewing room... I think it's having a deadline (Christmas!) that makes me more productive.

I too have been busy-made 22 tree ornaments, a tree skirt, a table runner and now putting the border on an applique wall quilt-all the past week. My new sewing machine just arrived-yea! A Brother PC420 Project Runway-which I have been trying to learn how to use! (I was my own Santa this year!) Today I took time to put up and decorate the tree! I just put the blinders on when walking thru the house so I don't feel guilty for the mess that has accumulated from neglect!

I too need to be doing one quilt but can't seem to stay with it. I did get it cut out and pressed. I get two whole blocks made too. I made a bed pocket, a bulleting board, a turtle, a dog, and an elephant cut out. I cut out a table runner. Laid out material for two more and pressed all the material I bought from on here and then all I got from other places as well. I made two pillow cases and dug out someof the stuff I had put in the closet. My legs are so swollen I can't push the pedal so I quit for the night.

Gina_D,
I got baking on my list too! I know you got to be tired, I am too and got a lot to do yet. How did you make those mittens? Were they out of fleece or did you knit? I thought about making a few pair, another thing to add to my list.
We did get our tree up yesterday too!
