Today is my last day at work before Christmas. Tonight I intend to sit down at my sewing machine and finish the wall hanging. Most of the pieces are cut out and all I have to do is place each piece and then tack down before machine applique with a blanket stitch. I am looking forward to doing this tonight.
Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Saturday morning Breakfast Club
The third Saturday of each month is Breakfast Club at my local quilt shop. In November we started a pattern called Fiesta Eggs. This is supposed to be a simple pattern that a beginner can use.
Well we learned different about 1/2 hour before we were scheduled to be wrapping up. Therefore, we scheduled a December third Saturday to complete the project.
In December we all thought things were going well and basically they were, but we made slow progress. Since there are only four regulars we decided to continue with the project in January.
I do have my homework cut out for me. Since my project is in red and green I decided to make the corner stones of the shashing into an eight pointed star in gold and the shashing in blue. I need to get all my shashing done before the January Breakfast Club meeting

MIL Wall Hanging -- new deadline
Well, they changed the dates on me at the nursing home and I have not finished the wall hanging. I will just have to settle with December 25 as the deadline.
Perhaps I will get to work on the hanging this weekend. It is supposed to be rainy Saturday afternoon through all of Sunday. A perfect excuse to seclude myself in the quilting!
Have a great day

This wall hanging must be finished on Thursday of this week. I have most of the pieces cut out. Now to machine applique them to the background and hang bells, apply stars and apply dark buttons for Santa's eyes.

Christmas presents
Surely I wouldn't start a Christmas gift after Thanksgiving? You want to bet.
I have started on a Santa wall hanging for my MIL. I have almost all the pieces cut out. Since NASCAR season is over I can plan on working on it Sunday.
Right now I am mostly working on my knitting.
