Time Flies

Well....so far I have been to the gym and exercised an hour ( working off that turkey!), made chicken salad and am preparing to machine quilt a Christmas throw. This afternnon I have the class I teach at the local community college (beginners). They are all progressing well. 

This is a wallhanging I have been working on.  The greens do not show up very well. It's the first log cabin blocks I ever made...I want to do more!! That book with the log cabin projects has me hooked.  I think I will applique a few gifts under the tree...I don't like empty trees!!

almost forgot

I almost forgot to post something today....after blogging everyday as part of the NBPM challenge!!. No sewing went on today ,except for some hand embroidery on my Stitching For Christmas block. I did shell out pecans part of the day...hopefully I can make some candy soon as if I need candy!!!

Mug Rug

I made a mug rug..now have to make 3 more to go with it!!! It's 4x6 inches....I may decide to make them napkin size...who knows??? I really want to make some with a snowflake appliqued on them.

Look What I Won!!!

Look what I won over at Leona's Quilting Adventure!!! It was part of her Get Ready For Christmas Giveaway...the other part is a cute pattern!!!  I have just the place to hang it!!

I Got A Package!!!!

I got a package in the mail today!!! It was from Carol in Indiana. I love it!!! It's the Secret Santa Christmas Swap item. I have the perfect spot for it. Now, it really puts me in the Christmas decorating mode! i hope my person got hers today.

a thing of beauty

Thanksgiving Cactus
As you can see my Thanksgiving cactus is in full bloom...I have two and both are opened. I have two ivory Christmas ones that will open as soon as I bring them in from the garage. I am waiting for these to go by. I have limited space for them inside and it soon will  be time to get the Christmas tree up.

Stitching For Christmas

Last week's block that I had not posted the picture of.

This week's block

Now I have the block that I am behind on left to do...I hope I get it mostly complete by Friday....depends on how long we are gone to visit family and eat!!! I like the blocks but am still undecided about the sashing...I think I will ignore the directions And do my own thing!!!


HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!
