Christmas Planning Update

I have be a blog slacker lately and I apologize.

I do have an update for my Countdown to Christmas.

  • Des Moines Modern Quilt Guild Mug Rug Swap - done
  • The Mug Rug I received from Doris
      Mug Rug given to Emily
    • Moderista Swap - sent and received

      Sent to SamKayDesigns

      Back of the Kitchenaid Cover

      Received from SamKayDesigns along with some potholders
    • Pillow Talk Swap - ready to send tomorrow

      
      I used the butterfly tutorial from Red Pepper Quilts
      
      
      First time adding a zipper to the back
      
    • Tote Bag - Started a Jane Tote last night and hope to have it finished this week.  I'm modifying this slightly and using this for my swap item for the Holiday Swap at the Des Moines Modern Quilt Guild meeting.
    •  Zakka Style Breadbasket - need to start
    •  Star Quilt - hope to finish but probably won't be quilted by Christmas
    • Bee a {modern} swapper - it's my month - HURRAY!  I am getting Granny Square's from the group.  I also signed up for the year end swap and have an idea in mind so I'm half way there, right?
    I have also decided to join the Ruby Star Wrap Along so you may find some posts about that very shortly.

    In other life news we have been busy with a new grand niece.  She came a little early so her grandma and mom stayed at our house for a few days until she was released from NICU.    We saw her again this weekend and she is perfect.
