This is a quick post. I am heading out for a few days, but in getting ready for this mini break, I have been stitching like a mad (not angry) person. On Friday I got the binding done on two of the tree quilts, started a new knit hat, and made a backing for tree quilt number three, LBQ Holiday Forest, and the diamond Creative Grids ruler arrived. Saturday I got the rest of the pieces cut and organized for the Poinsettia quilt, tried to get a start on the last tree quilt (need another triangle ruler- amazon to the rescue) and got the Holiday Forest top on the frame. Sunday, I finally finished the Fairy House, and got a few rows of long arming done, and more hat knitting. I pieced the Crimson Christmas poinsettia quilt so that when I get back I’ll able to get it quilted and gifted. Monday was a whirl wind of knitting while the long arm did its thing, and I managed to finish one hat, and make some headway on the other. Plus I seamed up the booties I have been knitting on the side. I only bought two things for Cyber Monday, tack cleaning sponges and envelopes. I am planning on making mesh bags with two or three sponges in them for my Barn mates. Last year I made them all little zippered bags for dog poo pick-up bags. There are a few less people this year, I think twelve. My bags will be based on a pattern from SewThankful.com . I need to check and see how much poly netting I have and the toggle thingies.

Be Kind.
