I've been sewing a LOT of red, white and blue lately and I love those colors. But it's time to change seasons, and that means red, white, and green. Time for me to begin some Christmas sewing! There will still be some other WIPS getting attention this week too, but Christmas will be front and center.
Using a 3-yard bundle of Christmas fabrics purchased at our quilt show in October made fabric choices easy for this 3-yard quilt. Choosing a pattern is much more complicated, because I have several of the Fabric Cafe books. But I've settled on Splendor. Let the cutting begin!!
The kit for the December spools mini quilt arrived Friday afternoon in the mail. Because there aren't too many itty bitty pieces, this one should go together quickly. These all finish about 13" square, and I want it ready to use by December 1.
There are a couple of Christmas gifts that I want to make, and one of them involves pulling out this Lori Holt book again.
Another Christmas gift involves this adorable cat fabric.
Other WIPs for this week?

** There is plenty of binding waiting as well.
We're doing our family Thanksgiving on Wednesday evening so our girls' families can celebrate with the other side of their family on Thursday. We're pretty flexible so I'm OK with any day and time as long as we get a chance to get together. It was firmly suggested that I make MORE deviled eggs this year than I did last year.
