One Week Until ...

Christmas ... we do celebrate at our house. We usually do it all - outside decorations, my collection of Santas, 2 trees, lots of presents, baking, other miscellaneous décor. This year ... we're still doing it all. But this year - it seems to be getting away from me.  I did NO holiday sewing.

I tried.

I went searching for my box of Christmas fabric. It was in the scary closet.

And then ... I found another bin of Christmas fabric - under my Handiquilter.

How the heck did THAT happen? I really thought my fabric was sew organized!  

And that is as far as I got with holiday sewing. 

No placemats, no pillowcases, no tablerunner, no quilt. 

I had the best of intentions but it just did not happen.

SEW ... instead 

Here's a look at one of my favorite Christmas bed quilts.

It's on Mom's bed. I called it: "5Cent Christmas". I finished it in 2015 from 5" charms using Pat Speth's book Nickel Quilts.

It has a fun "B SIDE"

I did make my sister a pillow.

That is all I have for you today.

It very well may be "the most wonderful time of the year" and I do think it is. As much as I'm enjoying the season, I've run out of steam on the documenting of it.

PS - the Christmas fabric is not yet put away. I might do a little holiday sewing after Christmas - get on jump on next year.

or not.

I will be putting all the fabric into 1 bin before I put it away.
