My Christmas To-Do List

November 21, 2007 in Me by emily | 3 comments

‘Tis the season for sewing gifts!

My to-do list:

- quilt — partially pieced

- 3 coordinating purses — fabric purchased and washed

- patchwork scarf — done!!

- felt doughnuts, cupcakes, cookies, tea bags, cakes and petit fours for Maeve’s stocking — still just an idea in my head

- Alien quilt for Maeve and Liam — I have 16 of 20 blocks done

- Close Your Clothes fabric book — I bought and washed the fabric, have the printable fabric sheets and clothes from Goodwill. Now to just assemble it all.

- Ribbon ball for Liam

- Various things for Sean but since he reads my blog they won’t be going on this list. ;-)

- Something for someone in a gift exchange. I wonder who the lucky person will be!

How many days until Christmas? I better get sewing.

I obviously need more thread

I saw this idea in a blog post here. Of course, I had to have one and luckily found a drawer at a antique shop while on vacation. Popped it up and the wall and loaded it up.

It looks way too empty. I need to go shopping for more thread.

Any guesses?

A snippet of Sean’s quilt.

Any guesses as to what it is? The winner gets… well, nothing really. Hopefully this will be up on Etsy within the next couple days.

I let him design a quilt

Maybe I should be more scared of the fact that I married him.

And yes, I really did let him design a quilt.  I’m sewing it now and it’s about a third done.  Just wait until you see it.  It will get giggles, snorts, and a lot of eye rolls.

Christmas presents!
