Just found this thread. Count me in for today and tomorrow. I'll continue downsizing by cutting kits for Comfort Quilts. When I get tired of cutting and clean off the table of the LA, then I'll quilt some UFO's for Comfor Quilts. So far in Dec, I've used 58 yds.

Great photos everyone, it really makes me happy to see what everyone is working on. I have my Quilted Hug project quilted now, so it needs the inside pockets (they need binding too) and then the binding all around...and then a front placket... the pattern calls for velcro closures on it but as these will be going to a care facility, I may put buttonholes and buttons.... have to think upon it.

So glad to see all of you working hard! And you're welcome 
I am glad to get the thread going, it helps keep me motivated. I didn't get any quilting done yesterday. Spent the day with husband celebrating his birthday. Just a low-key day hanging out together. Today we hooked up some electronics stuff. Now I have an Echo Dot in my sewing room which plays my XM Sirius radio. I did work on one of the BOM's today, assembling the top. Really hope to get that completely put together tomorrow afternoon.
Irishrose2, I'm glad you're able to quilt again.
Battleaxe--no white Christmas here either unfortunately. We're from upstate NY but have lived in Ohio for 12 years now and only once have we had a white Christmas here. I think we always had one in NY!
For those working on Bonnie Hunter--enjoy!
Sounds like there is sufficient interests so I will do a virtual quilting day for New Year's. I will probably start it Tuesday night in case anyone wants to get working early!

Merry Christmas to you Heather and all VQWers! I think I have cut enough 2 and 1 inch strips to keep me busy for awhile on the Omigosh quilt. Tomorrow I will know as the 2 inch strips need to be 2 inch squares - 3200 of them

I love seeing all your quilting beauties! Love those cookies! Yum!
Railroadersbrat, one inch hexies?! Sounds amazing! Can’t wait to see your pics.
I got the metallic thread I needed this morning and noticed it was thinner than what I had been using. Sulky, same color. Weird. But it’s sewing great so I best not complain too loud. Lol
One table topper done and I did a little more fmq on a table runner for myself. I’ve made several for others and decided I wanted one too. I will try and upload some pics soon.
Happy quilting all!

I will be working on several lap size quilts QOV's and a few others that I am making for Hosprus. That is about al I am involved with now. I am trying hard to clear out some of my stash. Since we had our Christmas several weeks ago, I am set for the week.

I am unable to get to my machine today. I've had a sleepover with two of my grands, ages 3 and almost 2, so no time for sewing. We had Christmas with them last night so they can be with their mom (my daughter) on Christmas day.They live 2 hours from us and I do the commuting to pick them up and bring them back home today. DH and I will have our son and family with our other grandson Christmas eve so they can be home Christmas morning for their tree. I've been peeking in to see what everyone is up to, lots of good work and so inspiring. Quilted Cottage, that green fabric in your two table runners is fantastic. Thank you Raggiemom for hosting, I'm looking forward to New Years Day at my machine.

Kathy, both of your table toppers are splendid.
Thimblebug, I love your Quilted Hug project, it would be perfect for my 99 yr old MIL. Is there a pattern for it?
I’m also in for VQW on New Year’s Day. : )
