Prairie Moon Final Countdown

 Final Countdown

Task One

Deal with the paper clutter

I can't say I've made lots of progress on this one yet.

I need to get my box for 2020 out and add in the files.

That might motivate me to get something done.

Task Two

Pick 3 easy tasks that need doing

My three tasks are:
Done 1. Trim Kolache Quilt
Done 2. Add Binding to Kolache
Done 3. Put Away Christmas Wrapping Paper

My studio is looking better.

Task Three

Organize one area of your sewing space

My one space right now would be the pressing table. 

For some reason wrapping paper messed up the entire space.

I also need to organize the bags on the long arm so I can quilt the one quilt of my own that still needs quilting.

I picked an easy one

 

Final Countdown

 I love what Prairie Moon does for challenges.

Check out her blog post to see what is in store for the next three days.

I know I can use it.

I have made a mess of my space.

I'll be posting about that soon.

This is the reason.

We had family over for Christmas and had a great time, but it takes away from keeping my studio in order.

I'll probably post a final report next weekend before we start 2022.

    Gnome placemats

I modified it from the pattern, but I like them.

Christmas Stockings

 

I made this stocking for my new DIL.

When I got the first one done, which I like the shape much better, I realized it was smaller than the others.

Thankfully, I had enough fabric to make the second one the same size as the rest of ours.

I still need to make the name tags for hers and DH's (his is lost in the Christmas stuff, somewhere)

A couple of other fun facts are:

Kate at Life in Pieces is doing the challenge of 15 minutes of sewing.

This week seemed to need more focus outside of the studio.

I did a little sewing, but only what I had to.

I'm feeling the stress of not sewing, so hopefully, I'll be able to get something sewn this week.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

My gnome placemats were made from scraps and were so much fun.

 

Merry Christmas

 

It's hard to believe it is already Christmas Eve.

There are so many things to be thankful for at this time of year.

The remembrance of why we have Christmas is at the top of my list.

From my family to yours,

May God fill your life with love, joy, and peace this Christmas Season and throughout the New Year. 

Merry Christmas everyone!

As I was getting things back in order, my DH went into the hospital.

They believe it was a stroke and thankfully it didn't do lots of damage.

The disruption took so much out of me that I didn't get to sew each day.

Hopefully, the rest of this week will let me get the necessities done.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

Many of the items above were from the scrap bins.

It takes a bit longer but using up some of the scraps to make baskets or kleenex covers is what I enjoy.

I now need to get everything back in order.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

All of the baskets up above were from my scrap drawers.

I had fun going through them to find pieces large enough to use.

I did get gifts ready for an Elf project and used some fabric there.

It's been a very slow week because I've been out of the house so much.

Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.

I had a project that needed backing.

I took the piece of crumb fabric I had used to make bags out of.

These were blocks and pieces from many projects.

It was almost large enough for the backing fabric.

So, I'm using up some other project pieces and adding to it to make it large enough for the back of this project.

This will be a finish for a new project and a UFO.
