Show and Tell

Working, working, working on those UFOs. Here was a charm pack wall hanging. It went together in no time but it sat because I wasn't sure I wanted to bind the funny angles. Then I got the idea to just sew it like a pillow and turn it right side out. Worked out fine. Plus, it is 100% finished.

Then there was my Christmas quilt. I had the brillant idea for my sewing group to do a block a month for a year and finish a quilt by the end of the year. I think they might think bad thoughts of me every time they look at their started quilts. I had a fat eighth pack of Christmas fabrics that I'd been hording and managed to use that and not need tons of other things, besides backing, background and chain fabrics. Like how it turned out!

I meander quilted the background. It made it heavy but it also make it go faster. That was a lot of quilt to machine quilt myself! Twisting it and shoving it through my machine really worked my arm and back muscles.

Here's a close up of the colors:

I've been busy. More pictures tomorrow!
