No, no, no, Christmas Stockings

Nineteen more small Christmas stockings made over the last few days.  I have not made a single Christmas gift for my family and friends as orders for my stockings still keep me busy.  My sewing room is beginning to feel alot like a 'sweat shop'.  On the bright side, my fabric stash is being reduced and I have a few pennies to buy new Christmas fabric for 2013 gifts!!!!

Oh no, more Christmas Stockings!

More orders for small Christmas stockings. My Christmas fabric stash now fits onto two small shelves in my sewing room.  My Janome sewing machine and I need a rest!  

More Christmas Stockings

I cannot make Christmas stockings quick enough. Today I had to forget making Christmas gifts for family as I received more orders for small Christmas stockings.
 

Christmas Stockings

The stockings that I blogged and showed a few days ago sold!  Now I have orders to make some more stockings.  I have made fifteen more small stockings in various Christmas fabrics. These stocking are about seven inches in height.

Now back to making gifts for family and friends, otherwise December will be over before I find time to get ready for Christmas. 

 

Meduim Christmas Stockings

I have decided to make a few extra Christmas gifts for family and friends. I know that I have left it a little late to make gifts for this Christmas.  

The picture of the stockings are one that I am going to sell as they are the ones left over.  The stockings are ten inches in height. If these stockings sell, I am going to put the money in my saving pot to restock my fabric stash.

Some Kind of Wonderful

It has been a very long time since I have updated the progress on my quilt.  Or should I say lack of progress!!  Thanks to Chookyblue for sending out reminders of how many sleeps left until the end date of this present Stitch-A-Long.  This has sent me into panic mode. I am so behind that I have spent at least several hours every day for the last week working on my quilt.

I have decided to cheat a little by joining all my empty applique blocks to their pieced blocks.  I now have five columns to work on. This means that I can take it out and about with me as all the applique is already prepared.  I decided to piece the blocks into columns as I had the last two weeks off work due to being ill with ear infections so spent some time at my sewing machine without feeling guilty about household chores.  

So I am making slowing progress but really enjoying getting back into the Stitch-A-Long.  Please keep up the sleep reminders Chookyblue as it helps getting me motivated.

OPAM

I have finished two small wall hanging this week. The Seascape quilt I taught to a local group several years ago. The top was completed as a demonstration example. It had been pinned to my design wall ever since the class. I have planed to hand quilt it with dyed thread but it the end I simply quilted it in the ditch.       

This Daisy quilt again has been pinned to my design wall for several years as I could not make up my mind how I was going to quilt it.  In the end, just to get it finished I have quilted in the ditch around the daisy and borders.

I feel that both quilts needed to be completed before another year pasted by again.
