This weekend I will be participating in the Christmas QAL and linking up over at Joanna's with the rest of the players. The is also a challenge this year - a Christmas project using no red or green. Details are on Joanna's board.
I've pulled out the 'under the bed' tote of seasonal fabric, orphan blocks, etc.. and I know I have gathered a few FQs over the last couple of months, so will add them to the mix. This is my toy box for these weekends.
First thing I must do is put this binding on a quilt. It is not a Christmas quilt, but the fabric is - just some fun to add to this huge quilt! Then I can put a few hand stitches into the binding as I pass it while working on other projects this weekend.
I have a couple of aprons cut and ready to play with. I'm hoping I can find some kitchen towels to match for a cute gift set.
And for my non-red/green project - I bought this small clover rotary and extra blades to play with the tiniest of Twister templates - I laid a 1.5" square of fabric with the template to show the size.
Maybe you would like to join us once a month? Please be sure to visit the link up to see what others are playing with.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

You are always so productive on these days. I can't wait to see what you get up to this weekend.
I like the idea of making aprons and giving them with matching towels. That's a good gift. I agree with everyone else; I'm in awe at all you get done and all so well done.
I looked at the No Red, No Green, Christmas sew along. Very interesting. I like the first block!

When I opened up my bin of Christmas fabric, I found some I had put together and started cutting...and I have no idea what for! lol I'm hoping it comes back to me!!
I'm doing the Christmas QAL also. No green and size are proving to be my biggest challenges so far. I'll get there! Happy quilting.
