I love those Scotties! I've had a most productive weekend, quilting wise. House cleaning, not so much. I finished the recent clues for both mysteries I'm working on, trimmed one quilt, and bordered another -- I'll probably not quilt it until after Christmas. Plus I cut out two simple quilts to be sewn together this week. I'm attaching pics of the two quilts. This was my first time making Delectable Mountains and although I messed up on the spacing, I am in love with this way of making a border.

ashley333--thanks for the space heater recommendation--mine works pretty well now but it's nice to have a recommendation for when it needs replacing. Hope Sadie is feeling better.

Well that's not convenient! I hope the shop won't be closed too long. Planning future projects time?
Lots of productive folks on here. I woke up early this morning and knew I wouldn't get back to sleep so at 5am (on a Saturday no less!) I started the HST for the Bonnie Hunter mystery. I have them all sewn and pressed and will probably trim them this evening or tomorrow. I also paired the HST squares for the Cut & Bolt mystery and will sew them later. Last evening I decided to bind the last Christmas quilt and disaster struck when my even feed foot disintegrated on me. I called the Janome repair shop this morning and they are closed due to illness so I won't be able to finished binding the quilt this weekend. And of course, none of the three walking feet I have will fit my model of Janome. Pits!

I'm back! Yesterday was the Hot and Heavy (by Annie) bag class at the shop. I was able to finish the bag in class; often I bring the bags home to finish the binding. I made the larger bag and it's big! Today I was at church all morning and then made three types of cookies this afternoon. Was standing way too much so needed to ice my knee after supper. So finally getting a chance to get one here and see what everyone has been up to. I see many of you have been much more productive that I was 
.
Hope to see you all back here for New Year's.

The weekend is over and although my accomplishments were less that what I would have liked, on the other hand progress is good no matter how small. I have added the special sewing days and the regular VQW to my calendar and will keep pressing forward to have fewer projects queued up for those virtual gatherings.
Merry Christmas to all and take time to enjoy your friends and families this season.

I finished my BIL's Cat quilt yesterday. I still need to run the sticky roller over it to remove the dog hair and loose threads, but I'm just about ready for Christmas giving.
I love Laura Coia's method of machine binding. I still need to improve my consistency, but the result is much better than any other method I've tried.
