I Need A Little Christmas, Right This Very Minute!
My Machine made it home. I have decided to name my Ruby Royale…. “Rubeus Hagrid”. I was in a Harry Potter mood… Don’t judge me… I helped a friend with her Halloween costume Friday night, and now tonight I am making snow flake ornaments for my Christmas Tree. I really don’t celebrate Christmas, but I do love a good Christmas tree! I’m making them in metallic and variegated thread. What do you guys and gals think? Any other suggestions for lace ornaments? Anyone try any other thread?

Another Zelda Quilt Done! I Just Love These!
It’s already that time of the year for Christmas present commissions. No sleep for the next 4 months, but it will be so worth it! I get to be so creative this time of year. I just hop I’ll have a little time for projects I want. Wish me luck!

‘Tis The Season To Start My Christmas Projects…
‘Tis the season to get some really nice Christmas fabric on sale! For this Christmas, I really want to get a head start on my projects! I’m thinking table runner and place-mats will be really pic sellers so I have to get to work!

We Can Build A Snowman
And even though he is a potholder he won’t melt! The wonders of insul-bright! Now that I have 2 down, I still have one to go! Next is the ginger bread man. I’m not sure if I’ll have time to get to that one tonight since I have a few other pressing projects. I really want to take a nap, but sewing comes first! Wish me luck!

The Penguin Is Finished
This pot holder is just to die for! (Is it pot holder, or potholder?) It is three layers, and you insert your hand into it. It works great! To test potholders to make sure the work well, I put my iron on high and grab it with the pot holder. If it gets hot right away, I know I need more insul-bright. Next one to be tackled is the snowman!

I’ve Been Working On A Penguin… All The Live Long Day
I’ve been working on this super cute pot holder for this class I am teaching on the Christmas Themed Pot Holders! I still have to finish this one, and then work on the gingerbread man, and the snow man! I need something that will look like white frosting. Wish me luck!

Planning Projects For Next Week
I’m planning out a few projects for next week. I think things go slightly better when I have a plan. Haha! So, here is what I am doing next. I’m making these adorable potholders for a class I am going to be teaching at the sewing center I work at! My favorite is the owl! I’m so excited! Christmas in July!

I Found This Small Pieced Top…
About 6 months ago, I bought a box full of fabric from a woman who gave up quilting because her arthritis was bothering her too much. In this box was about 40 yards of fabric, all about half yard cuts, and some scraps, and a few larger pieces. I also found this. (The picture below is after I did some minor quilting on it.) It sat in a tote in my closet, but today I dug it out, and I finished it. I just stitched in the ditch and stitching around the snow globe, but I feel that doing that was all this little table topper needed. I like the way it turned out, and I’m sure someone will like it!

I Finished The Quilt For The Craft Show!
In the wee hours of morning I arose from my work bench triumphant! I finished the quilt and put the binding on it! I love it! I’m sad it is just a small sampler quilt for the craft shows I am going to be in, but I like it anyways! The quilting technique changes in almost every block just to show people what I can do, and how I can work with designs! It was my first stab at free motion quilting, and I liked the way it turned out! I hope everyone else likes it too! I was going to post it this morning, but I over slept and was almost late for work. Whoops!
