A Week of Sewing!

At the end of each of my work days this past week, I made a point to sew! (after quilting customer's quilts).  Barbara at Cat Patches Blog suggested that we "Occupy our Sewing Rooms" from Dec. 3 to 10th.  
Thanks to Barbara I got quite a bit of sewing done.  This time of year is so busy for me with Christmas quilts, that I normally wouldn't sew at the end of the day, as I am too tired, but I did!  I was regenerated and revitalized by sewing and creating!  Thanks to Barbara!  


I finished the binding on two more scrappy place mats.  Now I have a table topper and three place mats.... Need more sewing Minutes for Me to sew to make a few more! I set the table and added my African Violet to create a Denim Blue Tablescape and added it to the December Tablescapes Party at The Thrifty Groove. You can create a tablescape, take photos, and add one for January. Check it out!
I decided I was going to finish a few projects and start a new one. Of course I took photos along the way and I will blog about the three scrappy table toppers next week. 


All three were made from little scraps from previous quilts.  I'll share more later.
I started some more little Quilted Zipper Bags.

 And I completed the binding on my Triple Tulips. I posted about that wall hanging on Tuesday.


I also offered a Prize - a Quilting Giveaway (link to details) - Drawing will be at Barbara's on December 17th and I will announce it here too after the drawing. Leave a comment at Barbara's Blog after linking up your post about sewing all week. Then she will draw a winner on the 17th.


So hop over to Barbara's and Link up your post about sewing all week and enter the giveaways!

Enjoy your day!
Marcia

  4. I like that plan of sewing a little bit each day. I'm usually a 'sew it 'till it's finished' person. Problem with that is the dogs are lucky to be fed, laundry doesn't get done, writing doesn't get done, and I eat too much junk because I don't stop and fix a meal. Next year one of my goals is to finish all my UFOs. I think I will try sewing 30-60 each day on one of them. Thanks for the idea. :)
