Where Does the Time Go?

I told you about the UFO activity our local quilt guild in a previous post.  I have four Christmas quilt kits on that list, and now I’ve finished three of them.  Yay!!  This was one of them that I showed you before-

The corners cut off the tree flying geese units were saved and sewn together to make half square triangles.  I used those scraps and some others to make this little table runner for my foyer.

I LOVE it when leftovers come together so perfectly…

The third UFO quilt is a gift, so I can’t post pictures of it until after it’s been given!!

I also made this cool little sewing organizer.

It’s called The Beatle Bag from Abbey Lane quilts.

I’ve not filled it yet with sewing thread, scissors, needles, etc…

And, I needed a quilt for the hall wall hanger for the Christmas season.

I used bits and pieces from Nancy Halvorsen’s book- “Christmas Favorites” to create my own Santa wall quilt!

I used only stash to make this, which really makes me happy!!

And I especially LOVE the curly print I used for the beard and mustache!!  I quilted on the curly lines and it looks GREAT!!
