I am going to a quilt in in Lexington IL for the last three days in Dec. Hoping to get a lot done.

I'll try to paste the link here for the tissue holder tutorial:

Hope it works!

My home was delightfully invaded by my daughter and two grandchildren for a span of time and my quilting has.... gone out the window. Withdrawals are terrible. Thank goodness my guild had a workday on Saturday. I felt much better. The jitters were diminished considerably. Tonight is a craft night at church... more quilting for me. Finishing UFO #1. (I will not tell how many are waiting in line behind THAT UFO.) I am so ready to try a new pattern or design a new piece but..... the kiddos come first and at least one more UFO must be dealt with. Then watch out world!!! Here I come.

Me too! Our kids and grandkids left to go back home this morning. It has been fun having the family here for the holidays, but I'm definitely ready for some sewing time.

My Christmas sewing is done, done, done. I did a tremendous amount. Now I want to just mindless sew. Maybe a bunch of little 9 patches that have been leader ender things. I don't want to think too hard. I've saved Bonnie Hunters Mystery clues and decided to have that as a project for another time. I want to relax and just do something simple with sewing long strings of mixed patchwork fabric for later use. What is it with mindless sewing that is so rewarding? I haven't a clue!

It's funny that I have all the time I want to sew at any time of day, but have to force myself to get into my sewing room. Once there, however, I do not want to come back out. LOL.

Love the holidays but I'm ready for some quiet sewing time. I have a big New Years dinner for the family then I think I will lock my sewing room door with me inside. I've missed my therapy sessions with my quilting. Lol Happy new year to all. May you have lots of fabric and time for making those beautiful quilts.

Me too! And that' just what I will be doing today!

Starting off New Years Day, my quilting friends are getting together for a sewing day. Football watching is for the guys.

I'm with you all , Happy Christmas is over . I did not get all my sewing done for the Holidays ,
should start now for next year ! :)
