Christmas Through The Year …(under the wire)!!

Earlier today I was thinking I would just whip up something really quick to get in under the September 30 deadline for this months present.  Two hours ago I was thinking …I’m  not going to have time to make anything not to mention I didn’t even have an idea :-( !!!  Think, think, think.  Then it hit me.  My friend Jan had made me the most wonderful journal for Xmas last year…. it had a paper type cover, and she stitched some wonderful patches on it.  A few months back I had found the same journals and put them away.  So about an hour ago, I Heat n Bonded, and did a simple stitch…added some stickers and tada …two presents done!!!  Whewwww, what a huge relief.  Check over at Allie’s and see what others have done.  I am quite sure they weren’t last minute Annie’s like me !!!!

Last Saturday was Quilts of Valor, and for a fund raiser we made chicken pincushions.  These were

my test chickens…smile girls!!!  A bit of a challenge for me but I did manage to get some done.  Sadly I forgot to take their pictures.

At   friendship group this week  we got to see a finished Farmers Wife quilt….AMAZING!!!!!  I just love those blocks.  Think this will have to go in my “make it when life slows down file”!!!

Well that’s a wrap for me.  I will be MIA for a bit, but there will lots of stories and pictures to share when I get back!  Happy weekend everyone.
