Last night my baby boy was asleep at 6:35pm! I started sewing at 6:37pm, and had a dream couple of hours at the already-set-up sewing machine! Woohoo!
First I started this QAYG table runner. As it was the first one, it took a bit of time to set up. I have the measurements now, and will be able to make more much faster. (More? You say. Of course! I have enough fabric for another three.)
Really, I think I need to take a leaf of out my friend Jo's book. She has been making Christmas gifts all year. I need to do the same. Maybe I can say one per month. Surely I don't need to give a hand made gift to more than 12 people?? Even for me, who loves to give hand made. Twelve should be more than enough.
Then I moved onto the couch for some hand sewing, and finished sewing the binding onto the Horsey quilt. Hooray!
I am really excited to finish it in time for Christmas.
It's reversible, so you get to see both sides, and the dog.
And here is a gorgeous pic of the 40th birthday doiley in its new home.What a lovely place for it! On a lamp! And now, who minds it if sits flat or not?
I hope you are having a simply wonderful day!

That 2-sided Horsey Quilt is beautiful and so colorful. Well done!
Great quilt. Good to see some work on Xmas gifts. It does make it easier to do them at a more relaxing pace through the year. Buy your fabrics now on clearance and use them over the next year...
Thank you so much Warm Quilts.
Great advice Jo. xo
