There is not a lot to report from my end of things. I am working what little sewing time I have had lately on the Secret Santa gifts/ornaments. I also have been helping my Sis get her UFO's done. She only has 3 - isn't that disgusting?
First up - Yesterday I helped her make a pillowcase. She's done them before but it's been a couple years so just needed a refresher.
She's going to send that to her FIL law, along with the quilt for her MIL. Just a love gift - not for Christmas. So I made a label for her to put on the quilt. I got it printed on muslin and then she pinked the edges and fused on the back of the quilt and she
finished the binding.
Here's a picture of Sis when she finished the top at the retreat last February -
Here is it quilted and a close up of some of the quilting.
Below is one of the table toppers I made at the last retreat - I had planned on giving one to my Sis and Brother-in-law, but she asked for one and offered to finish the binding on it herself - so here it is in their snowbird 5th wheel home.
So what am I doing? Well we have been doing a lot of shopping lately. We have 90% of our Christmas shopping done - that is good. And on top of that we did a couple days of picking up groceries from a local farmers market and a couple grocery stores. Hubby and I are on a healthier eating plan. (nicely said huh?) And - well I have been a little consumed with all the planning and prep for that.
On the happier note 3 days in I'm down 2 pounds so I guess it's working. I have to say it hasn't been too hard. Here's a look at last night's dinner.
It was delicious and hubby said it was a definite do over so win win.
Now for the next two days I need to really stay focused and get those Secret Santa ornaments done so I can do my finished link up to OMG. :)
Hope you have a blessed day -
Lynn
