I'm not stressed out because what gets done gets done. I didn't promise anything to anybody. Sometime I get it done and sometimes I buy something. I went to a piano bar this afternoon and this morning my sister and law was over helping my son learn piano. Just have a fun filled holiday everybody.

I never promise anyone anything either! I know myself to well. The only problem is that with me being a SAHM, funds are always tight and making things is a have to this year. I am sure some of you are in the boat with me. Make them or not have anything.

Both of us are retired and I really understand your comment. thank God for good sales and a good size stash to fall back on when I want to quilt!

Well, I have three table runners in the works. I've already sent my children all I can make and get it there in time for the day. I just bought some pink ribbon survivor fabric for my DM and my SIL. I'm making a wall hanging for each of them.
Yesterday, I just bound one runner, today, I couldn't even get into my sewing room to sew. Tomorrow is another day, wish me luck!!

I finished everything Friday morning. If I never see red & green fabric again I'll be a happy girl. Everyone is getting handmade gifts this year except grandkids. I made 6 table runners, 4 toppers, and 2 wall hangings. My house is decorated (I didn't clean--just decorated over the dust and I'll use candles and keep the lights low LOL). I hope everyone gets done what needs to be and can sit back and enjoy Christmas in what ever way they chose. Joy to all!!

I have completely finished 2 lap quilts for the little girls down the road, I have one more to finish..I am quilting it now. I have the top finished for a very large throw for a Christmas/house warming for some good friends...it's not looking for that one to be finished. I have the fabric for another but that isn't even cut. I don't know what happened to November and December..last I knew it was Halloween. And did I mention that my mother asked me last Saturday to make a Mini Miranda (bag by Lazy Girl) for her to give as a gift...I finished that yesterday. I should be sewing now.
