Christmas Sewing

I have been checking off my Christmas sewing list one project at a time and making headway.  Currently I have finished a quilt and pillow cover and have 2 out of 8 Christmas stockings fully complete (sans the names emroidered) and the six others in some form of construction and also another pillow intended for a gift awaits hand quilting.  The reason I have the first two stockings complete is because they are for my first grandbaby !! I am over the moon excited about my grandson and although he isn't due to arrive until spring, I made him a stocking for my house and also one for my son and daughter-in-laws home.  I do have a picture of the quilt and pillow cover to share and when the stockings and other pillow are complete I will share those as well. I see alot of sewing for baby in my future and I am so excited.

Staying busy

Oh boy... These days seem to be filled with saddness in the news and sewing has filled my extra hours with a welcome distraction.  The latest tragedy in Las Vegas is just heartbreaking but once again I am consoled by the bravery and courage of those who risked their lives to help complete strangers in many cases.  In the face of these atrocities humanity reminds me there is so much good.  I have continued to use up scraps this week. I made 5 identical tote bags from the scraps left over from the red, black, and gray split decision quilt I made for charity.  These colors are our school colors so each of the girls I work most closely with will recieve one.😀  I also have been working on a Christmas quilt .  I took progress pictures inside so they are poor quality.  I have several other Christmas projects in the works also but I am unable to share them yet... They are secret... It is safe to say I'm anxious to show them!  Hopefully soon...
