I Did A Little Sewing

I looked back at my December goals so I could see if I actually met any of them and ..... I forgot to make any! I changed it today to just read "get ready for Christmas" because I think that's all I did. :)



I've already shown you this Puppy Dog Tails quilt but I love it so you get to see it again because I made it in December.

Don't you just love this little Christmas mouse? I made this in December too. The redwork pattern came from Joypatch. It's a free pattern you'll find on her left sidebar. She does such cute things!

I might have shown you this before too. What is it about memory after you turn 60? And yes, I know that was a couple or three years ago, but still, I can't remember what I've said or not said lately, or who I said it to! (or didn't say it to?) Anyway this was such a cute panel that I just had to make a wallhanging out of it. I sashed it and appliqued a bird up at the top and sent it to a blog friend.

Don't you just love these three mini messenger bags? The initials are my three youngest granddaughters and the purses were Christmas presents for them. Can't you just see three little girls parading around Christmas Day with their purses on their hips? I put a few goodies inside and they were thrilled. The flowers go with the initials; a lily, strawberries, and apple blossoms.

I have some wonderful friends in a small quilt group. I embroidered these tea towels for them...and one for me.

We went to a Christmas open house that friends were hosting in a nearby town. They built a new home and we hadn't seen it before so we took a bottle of wine as a housewarming gift. I made this cute wine cozy to put it in.

There are five of us who ride to quilt guild together and we decided to do a block exchange as our Christmas presents to each other. I made one for each of them, and one for me. Hmmm, I think I just said that before!



This pillow I made for my grandson and it was a real hit. The night they were here to open presents he was running and tripped going into my sunroom. He tore his big toe nail almost off! It bled and bled and he cried and cried and if it had been me I'd have been way worse than crying! I know that hurt so bad. :( He sat in the recliner with his foot elevated and we put ice on it and he laid his head on his new pillow.

And here's my Skinny Snowman. He's very tall, and I've been kidding that he's not all that skinny but really he is. Look at that waistline - I should be so lucky!

I also made a journal cover for my oldest granddaughter but forgot to take a picture before I gave it to her! And I embroidered his name on towels and washcloths for my grandson who will be going away to college next year. And made a couple of lavender sachet bags. I think there might be more but my head is spinning from all the Christmas excitement just past!

And of course as I type this I know that blogger might not get the right captions by the right pictures but that's ok, you can figure it out.

My next goal is to get my January goals on the sidebar before the end of the month!
