Quilting is more fun than Housework has us working on scraps.
My postcards came from the scrap drawers - Christmas & Green
Lucky 7 is bound.
I quilted my Pineapple quilt
I will bind it with leftover binding.
Two more tote bags using the crumb fabric.
I used them for the bags for the different committees in my guild.
Sunshine & Shadows has cards & stamps in it.
Get Er Done has a big notebook and a display sign in it.
Now to see which other committees need a bag.

Pineapple
The pineapple quilt is quilted
I used white thread and a meander pattern with a few hearts thrown in.
It's too big to get a good photo of.
When I get the binding on it, I'll find a better spot.
This is the last of my quilt tops to be quilted.
I suppose I need to get busy making tops.
Updates
I couldn't find my cord for my camera, so I couldn't post. 😕
We had our guild Christmas Party for the Hill Country Mod Quilt Guild on Tuesday.
We had the reveal for our Secret Sister
Would you believe that Jeanne C and I gave to each other?
It confused me, but I finally figured it out.
I love all that she gave to me and she loved what I gave to her.
The December gifts included this cute Fox (the fox is our mascot) teapot.
We both LOVE tea.
This is the full gift.
She wrapped the box in fabric.
Then, her gift to me for giving to her all year was this redwork kit.
I don't know that I can start it right now, but I will enjoy working on it.
Don't you love the cards she sent?
I also had to make the Christmas masks for the apartment girls.
I'm a pincushion swap and this is the pincushion I received.
I love her prairie points.
I also have little hexi's to work with.
Since that is a goal of mine, I will enjoy them.
Then, the fabrics are so pretty.
I'll have to come up with something fun to make.
On to some postcard swaps.
A swap is Christmas Stripes
I didn't have any stripes I liked, so I made my own stripes out of Christmas fabric.
These are for a gingerbread swap.
Lucky 7 is quilted and bound.
I love the colors in this one.
It is very much a memory quilt because I used up the 2.5" squares in my pre-cut drawers.
I did use them up 100% and had to cut more, so I have more in there now. LOL
I finished binding the last CIL.
It is boxed and ready to mail.
I feel bad because I was really slow this year in completing anything.
But, it is done done and ready to go.
So, that catches you up, unless I've forgotten anything.

Tote bags
Two tote bags made from my crumb fabric.
I keep making mistakes, but I finished two.

Read a Book
November
Harley Merlin and the Mortal Pact by Bella Forrest
Such a great ending to a series.
Chaos helps the way it can.
There are more in the series, but Finch is the main character.
Quilters of the Door by Ann Hazelwood
This is a new series called Door Country Quilts.
It is about Claire arriving in a little town and joining a small quilting club.
It is a fun read.
The Healing Quilt by Wanda E Brunstetter
This was a nice read.
It is about an Amish couple who teaches quilting classes and all their students.
Witch & Wizard by James Patterson
I got this book because it was suggested at Thriftbooks.com
It was an easy read and was the first in a series, so it set the stage for the next books.
Patchwork Times Learn Something New
November - I took a class from Kimberly Einmo.
I learn something new from her every time I interact with her.
I am also trying new ways to load a quilt.
My next try is to float the top.
I've not done that before, so it should be interesting
I'm also learning different ways to make a bag.
October - Arrowheads
November - Stonehenge
