Last “Schnibble” for 2014

Our Schnibble group assignment for December wasn’t actually one of Carrie’s Schnibble patterns at all!!

It was a cute little mini quilt design from Sherri McConnell,  one of our lovely Schnibble group leaders, called “Shine”!

I don’t know about you, but by the time Christmas finally comes, I am so tired of red and green stuff all around, that I yearn for some blues!!

So, I made my little quilt from some fabric I bought years ago for a purse- with blues, aqua’s and lime greens!

The background print has to be at least 10 years old!!  But I still love it!!

The backing was a large flower print!!  Such a lovely little quilt!!  Quite fun to make!!

My husband and I both came down with the flu two days before Christmas… it’s been a long time to feel better and finally get a bit of energy back between coughing!!  But I finally got the Christmas decor packed away… just have the tree to do today!!!  How about you?

Yogi and I want to wish you all a fun New Year Eve tonight and a relaxing day tomorrow!!  Ready or not, here comes 2015!!

Merry Christmas, Everyone!!

I hope you are savoring the season and enjoying your family and friends today!!

You and I wish you a very wondrous Christmas and a most blessed New Year!!

Busy Days!

So, are you all ready for Christmas? I think I finally am!!  Just got home from the last trip to the grocery store… hopefully!!  What a zoo!!

I think I told you in a previous post that I finished another of my Christmas kits on my guild UFO list, but I couldn’t show pix or post about it as it was a gift!

But my sister opened it, so now I can show you!!

It was a free pattern for the “It’s Christmas!” fabric collection, from last year.

But of course, I made it my own by adding the border print on all four sides rather than just the top and bottom.

I fell in love with the curls on everything!!  Elf hats, shoes, treetops, chimneys, etc!!

I have always loved anything with curls and spirals!!  You, too??

I also saw a neat idea for storing your quilting rulers on a pegboard mounted on the inside of a closet door!  How very clever!!  So my DH cut and mounted this pegboard on my stash closet door for me!!

And by getting all those rulers out of a large dresser drawer in my sewig room, I was able to take my precuts and kits out of the cubbies and put them into those now reorganized drawers!  Which left me with some empty cubbies (YAY!!)

which them allowed me to reorganize my fabrics in all the cubbies and make more space!! 

It’s soooo nice to be able to see all the fabrics in each stack and be able to pull one out and not have the whole stack come out and fall to the floor because of it all being crammed into those tight spaces!!  Woo hoo!!

Well, Yogi is worried- are you ready for Christmas??
