Christmas Cards

It took me three days but I now have over 80 Christmas cards addressed and signed all with a lovely photo of the husband and I on our wedding day. Husband asked how much this was all costing us. I can't count that high.

Lack of Time

Frankie's Grandmother is turning 100 this month. Next week is her birthday party and of course due to the lack of time her gift got left until this weekend. Yesterday I scurried to JoAnn's to find every other women in the metro area there. I got 2 and 1/3 yards for the top and 1 and 1/4 yard of fleece for the backing. I've never quilted on fleece before so this was an experiment. For the amount of time I put in I'm happy. There are some puckers but it's going to a nursing home and will be tossed in their industrial sized washers. It had to be sturdy.

On another note after it was all done I found a pin in between the layers. How the heck? I had to cut a tiny hole in the fleece to get it out. I think it's JoAnn's because it doesn't match any of mine.

Ring around the rosy

Today was a school holiday so I got some quality quilting time in. Yes, I should have been writing a lit review for my grad class but what would you want to do more? Now the red the two borders need to be added. That will have to happen next weekend.
