Little things done

Last week, I made an effort to sew at least an hour each night. Even on the nights when I had a Guild meeting and a holiday office party I still got an hour in.

I finished my Christmas hunks pillowcases.



Using the instructions from the Oven Mitt pattern for the bias tape binding, I figured out a much easier way to bind the fruit place mats that I put together. Here are 2, but I finished the third about a half hour ago. Much easier to machine stitch it all down than to try and hand sew every one of them when I will have 13 total to do.



Friday, I quilted! More on that in a separate post. And Saturday, I worked on a few things. A take along bag, a thread catcher and a travel case. All 3 made with less than 3/4 yards of each fabric!



Then, I made this Stitchin' Chix bag for a holiday party last night. I almost wish that I had brought it back home with me! But I have more cut out! The bag was pretty well received and it would have been better had it not been for Barb and her blasted home made Snuggie! (Holla!!!)




Today, I spent some time holding Max - his back is bothering him today - and burying threads in the comfort quilt, ripping some stitches out and crocheting a little. I have been pretty productive!
