I have been so busy lately, and finally have a free weekend.
Cleaning and laundry are waiting for tomorrow.
I did some work around the house this morning, but
this afternoon I have been spending sewing. Needed to '
take a quick break to give my eyes and neck a break.
Am working on some Christmas presents for family and
friends.

Hope others are finding time to sew today too!

I'm making a sweatshirt jacket for my older DD's neighbor girl. It's going to have a woven fabric edge on the fronts, two different sized yo-yo's and 4 folded diamond patches. Got all the fabric cut-------------still have not decided on what color sweatshirt to use. DD thinks hot pink or teal and I'm leaning toward forest green.

Been making my meatballs and sauce to freeze for three Christmas family dinners. Trying to get a jump start on the holidays. I'm done now and need to embroidery a label for a quilt and finish some Winding Road blocks. I can't wait to get to my sewing machine.

I worked on Judy Niemeyer's Indian Summer quilt pattern. I got the center section together and was somewhat disappointed in the look. Then I layed out the 120 piece border and WOW! Now the quilt looks great. Fun day for me.

Sounds like lots of us got to do some sewing or quilting. Thanks for sharing what you did today!

I've spent most of the last to days at machine embroidery classes. Figured since I have all my Christmas presents bought and wrapped ready for delivery next week, that I could have time for classes and enjoying myself.

I was sewing and watching the game, too. I did age about 100 yrs watching that game - and it's a good thing that i had my grays covered last weekend, because I'm sure that i got about 100 more gray hairs, too!!!!

I'm making this quilt that takes about 25 min to make each block....I don't know why I figured that out, and kinda wish I didn't know that bit of info??? LOL!!
