The sashing on this quilt is actually a lovely light brown, not green as it appears in this picture!
We hope someone will feel warm wrapped up in this gray and red quilt.
Heather found this UFO in her cupboard and hopes to have it done in time for Christmas.
Donna worked on a new Christmas tree skirt for her tree.
Ann busied herself with making a cute lift the flap baby quilt.
Jacqui made more blocks for a Tula Pink sampler quilt.
Chris is making a table topper with lots of pieces.
She had it all put together by the time she went home.
Nice civil war fabrics were being made in to a quilt by Carolyn.
Barb's project was a stitch and flip project from a workshop by Jacquie Gering earlier this year.
Yvonne and Debbie worked on the Gray and Red charity quilt.
Donna did some organic quilting.
I made this table topper. It is a Christmas gift for someone who does not read my blog. I also worked on a second Christmas gift but you will have to wait until after Christmas to see it. ;-)
The binding on this topper will have to count as this week's slow stitching project. I had hoped to get some more done on the snowman runner, but that will have to wait until next week.

(Note that the background, border and backing fabric for Abby's quilt are not included in the numbers above. This fabric was purchased and all used in this quilt so it did not come into my stash and it did not go out! Abby's quilt will be going to the quilter's house this week. Here are a couple of pictures of the borders and the backing)
I can't wait to show you the finished quilt!
I am linking up to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching.

ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by! The person I am making the quilt for doesn't read my blog but his wife (one of my daughters lol) does and I didn't want to put his name in case he looks over her shoulder.
