Christmas? I'm still waiting for summer... I have plants under grow lights in my basement and if it warms up by Memorial Day weekend, they will go in the ground. In the summer months, we live on an island and I plant a fairly large vegetagle garden each year which feeds about 10 family members. Between the garden and managing our retail business, I don't get much time to quilt.

Which Christmas? I am still behind on my plans for 2015! I NEVER make those Christmas deadlines and have just given up on all attempts. My box of Christmas fabric has been sitting out on the floor of my sewing room since 2015. Maybe this year I will do something about it.....sigh

I just finished last evening a gift for the holiday season and so glad to have it completed.....[ATTACH=CONFIG]572901[/ATTACH]over 900 pieces

Absolutely beautiful. I don't think I'd be able to give it away.

Oh my, your use of color and texture is just perfect! The amount of time you put into this......It is absolutely beautiful. I hope whoever your gifting it too has an appreciation of the time and talent that went into making this!!!

I have found 2 yards of a pre-printed bow-tie 30's reproduction fabric that has been waiting in my stash for this Christmas. I will make a quilt for my 10-year-old great nephew and I'm planning to use a real bow-tie for the bow on the wrapped gift! Ha, ha.

You are off to a good start.

Please show us the finished items as you go.
