Christmas Panic!

Well, blogger invited me to switch... and here I am! :D Yup, I was having trouble commenting on other blogs. Felt like I kinda lost my "voice" in blogland.

I'm also reaching "full blown Christmas panic" levels... We're leaving Friday for my uncle's house, so I don't have 10 days left, I have 7.5 right now! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

One quilt is done ('cept for the label)... 4 more to go! :O


And I got Christmas blues into a top. The backing is sewn too... now need to pin!


Just to give you an idea how much I've been working/sewing/panicking... last night I was ironing the rows of the Christmas blues quilt and the power went out! Turns out we blew a fuse. :P I can't really blame my husband cuz he was doing what he does every night... so it's probably my fault, cuz I had the sewing machine, iron, computer and bright light on.

Speaking of lights... the desk lamp I have behind my sewing machine burned out it's light bulb. Of course I don't have any *40 watt* bulbs on hand. That left me sewing in a pretty dark spot or turning on my big bright room lamp. I'm too busy to go to the store and buy light bulbs! Maybe tomorrow. :)

You sound mega busy. I miss my nocturnal sewing sessions now that sewing corner is in the bedroom.

Leah - you amaze me at how much you get done! If I didn't know better I would say you were related to Bonnie Hunter ;)

I love your Christmas Blues quilt -those white sashing and blue cornerstones really pop! You have given me an idea for a next year quilt. Mind if I copy a photo of yours to save??? ~Bonnie

Both of these quilts are pretty. I like how you added the checkerboard squares to the railfence on the first one. Adds a lot of interest. I like the scrapiness of it.
I like the soothing blues, and I especially like the sashing. I think it adds a soothing touch to it.

Oh the tops look wonderful! I"ve missed you - but then I've not been on at all hardly since Thanksgiving. Between work and being sick and "trying" to do anything for xmas has just sucked up my time! And I still can't switch over to beta.... so we will see what happens to me!

You are always so busy. You are doing a great job. After the holidays you need to take some time off and relax.
