I was making a bag out of a couple of orphan blocks that have followed me around the USA for 20+ years. Thought it would go to my DDIL for Christmas. Too many hours to give as I know she might give it to someone else. So it's mine. There are two more orphans that will turn into pillows for the master bedroom. Who has time for Christmas sewing? LOL!!! There IS one tablerunner that has two of the three blocks finished, and there's fabric for more tablerunners. Guess it's time to get moving on them!!

I'm so excited. This year I may actually make my goal of a quilted item for each of my siblings, each of my kids, and each of my nieces and nephews families. I've already completed 4 table runners, and have several more cut out and ready to piece together. I've paper pieced 12 hot pads so far - another 12 to go, and then of course quilting them and finishing, but I've got SUCH a great start compared to previous years. Not having to get up and go to work each morning is WONDERFUL!!!!!!

I made 8 muslin bunnies for my 8 granddaughters. I also made 6 bow tucks bags for gifts. In crochet I have made 4 minion, 1 duck and 1 frog hat. I also have a queen size lone star for one DD and beginning one this weekend for another. The benefits of being on disability is lots of time to sew.with 14 grandbabies, I try to make as much as I can.

I pieced a small Christmas tree skirt for my daughter in law tonight. It was quick and easy. I hope she likes it. She puts up trees all over her house. One is a small black tree with orange and black Oregon State ornaments. The tree skirt is orange and black Oregon State colors and logos octagon. It is kind of cute, not sure I like this pattern. I want to make a pink tree skirt for her pink tree....woodsy one for her woodsy room and tree. She loves to decorate!

I'm teaching two of my grand daughters how to make mug rugs for family members. They are made with a snowman theme and each will be wrapped with a christmas mug and the makings for snowman soup. Daughters are getting table runners, and each of my sons will get a lap quilt. Oh, and a quilted christmas stocking for our news grand daughter due this month.

I just finished a rag quilt for my DD's MIL. DD and SIL will be doing all the clipping, thankfully!! I will probably make some grocery tote bags for oldest DD and hope to finish a quilt for younger DD. I want to make a tree skirt and any links to tutorials will be great!
