Signs of Christmas

Christmas Commitments

Here are a couple of things that I have been working on for Christmas. The first is a lap quilt for my 91 year old "adoptee" that I signed up for with our local non-profit. She asked for one so I made it in her favorite colors (pink and blue) with her favorite flowers (roses). I hope she likes it because she is one special lady.

The second is a dress that I made for my husband's Christmas party at work. It is at Gilly's and is a country/western theme (obviously). I intend to wear it with a denim jacket and my uber cool cowboy boots (that I got at Dillard's, of all places).

This is a New Look pattern and is knit. It was very fast to sew and I plan on making another one but I will make it a size smaller.

Back to the sewing room - I have more Christmas presents to complete.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We are about six weeks away from Christmas and I have started to work on gifts, both personal and for my etsy store. In the next couple of days I will have some fabulous fantasy flower pins available. The great thing is how versatile they are - use them to dress up a jacket, scarf, tote or hat. They will also dress up another gift if you use them as package decorations.

For my personal gift list, I pulled these fabrics out of my stash to make a lap quilt for a senior that I "adopted" for Christmas. Her favorite colors are blue and pink and she loves roses. I am doing a variation of the log cabin pattern.
