Almost Christmas!

 This is the last month to link up to Christmas Through The Year. Darlene and Cheryl have been great hostesses this year. Thanks you two for keeping us in the Christmas spirit all year.
I finished one more pillow cover for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. Unfortunately I only got ten covers made. I have two ideas for the other ones but it will have to wait until next year. Maybe I can have them made for her birthday next year.

This last pillow cover is a kit and pattern I order from Michelle of The Raspberry Rabbits. Isn't it cute? I added brown cording to this pillow but it hard to see in the photo.
Tomorrow starts the real count down until Christmas. Better get busy on your gifts.

Tumbling Leaves

 I put my leaves together for the newest row from Lori's row along.
Aren't these leaves cute?

Here's all the rows so far. Lori's tutorials are great and I am having fun making this quilt.

Slow Sunday Stitching

It is slow Sunday stitching. I am going to finish up this wind blown tree today from the Aurifil Buzz blog. Then I am going to put my leaves together from the row along and be caught up. I am linking up my slow stitching to Kathy's Quilts and Lyn's BOM Away.

 I also got caught up on the blocks I am making for Mr. P's new quilt this past week. These are from Dawn Heese over on the Henry Glass blog.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. It is a beautiful crisp sunny day here in North Carolina.

Two Working at Their Crafts

During this past Thanksgiving week I was busy catching up on some projects. One of those projects was the row along by Lori Holt. I made the coffee cup row this week and added the sashing to some of the other rows that needed them. The rows are not sewn together yet. So here they all are but wait! Oh, Lori has come out with the next row which is leaves. So I will be in my swing room today working on those. 

 This week while I was sewing Mr. P. was in his workshop finishing a bench for my #2 son and daughter-in-law. This is for their kitchen table.

 Mr. P. also made them another end table for their living room. Last year he made a coffee table and an end table. He had promised this one and finally got it done.

These were delivered when we went to the couple's house for Thanksgiving. They were very pleased to get them.

Well, I am off to go do some sewing. I hope you get to do some sewing too.
