Busy Day!

I did a lot today. I've been working on these two quilts for a few months. I finished this one below...


... and then took a little break before quilting the second one. I quilted most of it on Saturday and finished quilting Sunday. Then I spend Sunday and a few hours today putting the binding on it.


So now both the quilts are finished... just in time because the baby is coming in December and big brother John will need one too!


Tonight I went to Linda's house and sewed 42 candles on my cake! I did do these with the machine, but I will be hand sewing a flame on each one. My plan is to finished embellishing it during the Christmas break. Then I just have to hand quilt the green boarder and put binding on it. This is my fat quarter challenge which I need to finish by the January 13th meeting.

Gingerbread House

My quilting group decorated gingerbread houses this evening. We had to bring a plain gingerbread house and "candy" to share. This is my gingerbread house...



So, after decorating my house it now looks like this...



I still want to put a border around it and quilt it, so stay tuned for the finished product!

Jewelry Making

Monday night I went to a meeting for my Jewelry Meet-up group. This was the project we did. You had to take "metal letter stamps" and hit them with a hammer to make the indentations in the metal. It was more difficult than it look because you had to hit it hard enough without moving it.

More Cake!

I machine quilted the background, and now I have the tedious job of hand quilting the flowers.
