Monday Making

Are you making little Christmas things this year?

I bet we ALL are making something.

It's part of the holiday tradition for me!

Can't let a Christmas go by without creating SOMETHING!

Right?

These little Santas are an old favorite of mine.

This year I made a few more and instead of adding fake greenery

I cut some rosemary from the garden.

I'm so happy with the look and the nice SCENT!!

I also made a super quick and easy little baby quilt!

Chinese coins in little boy colors.

Baby boys are a little bit tricky to sew for.

You want sweet....but it can't be TOO SWEET!

Haha.

I'm getting SO close to finishing my borders for

my hospital sketches quilt!

It's been my evening GO TO sewing when the chores are done!

What are YOU making this week??

Thanks for sharing.

I am exploring the King's Cross quilt block....

inspired by this OLD quilt.

It's good for me to get my brain cells  moving

as I try to figure out the quilt block.

:)

I found some tutorials for a 12" block.....

But I wanted a smaller version.

I posted a youtube tutorial HERE.

I'm also working on some applique borders.

The hospital sketches quilt needed a little more "something"...

so I'm enjoying some slow stitching and

 adding a little more applique to the quilt.

It's been a BUSY week here!!

I visited my small quilt at the road to California

Quilt show.

:)

Added LOTS of half square triangles to my

Hospital sketches quilt!

After that....

I made plans for Graduation quilt SEWING DAY!

To be held next month.

Everyone who comes will make the 16 patch block.

If you SEW, then you know that not ALL the 16 patches will be EQUAL.

:)

Especially since many who come don't sew very often.

I thought by adding the corner triangles

I will be able to get them ALL uniform in size.

And no one will have to stress about making their's PERFECT!

It will be FUN way to get the quilts made as a group!

I also uploaded a new HOW TO on youtube.

Always challenging...and a bit scary....

but always FUN.

This week I hope to clean up the MESS all of that activity created.

LOL!!!

I am working on a fun project this week...

Adding saw tooth borders ALL around my

Hospital sketches appliqued blocks.

There are NINE total blocks.

I am loving the look!
