This month's Christmas QAL weekend is being hosted by Joanna of Needle Thread Happiness. That day is fast approaching - do you have a project? Join us for the whole weekend or even just one day or even a couple of hours.
I'll be embellishing my challenge piece.
And I like to work on multiple projects, so I have these bits of scraps ready for a little project that was presented at our quilt guild meeting.
I will be stepping out for a little bit at some point as our LQS has another 'adopt a bolt' sale this weekend (25% off if you take the rest of the bolt)- yes, I'm shopping on my 'no-more-fabric' diet. But I've cleared two shelves, so I need to fill them - and I need backing!

I will be updating on the same page thru the weekend
UPDATE
Some of my embellishing supplies - had to put the beads, buttons and metallic threads on the ironing board (kitties) and more is on the side table - this is going to take a while.......
And I made my trip to the LQS sale. What I am going to do with that wild rams fabric - hey, that half yard looked lonely. Benartex, RJR, Red Rooster, Moda, Windham, Andover, (EEEKKK) Ro Gregg and Nancy Halvorsen!!!!
My sewing machine was feeling left out, so I quickly whipped up these log cabin blocks from those scraps. That pin dot isn't really that bright and I need to clean the glue off my cutting mat (SIL).
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Looking forward to seeing your finished Challenge piece. x
Sounds like the perfect opportunity for backing fabric at your LQS. I'm really liking the Twister Tree. It has been fun to chart the progress!
I like your Twister Tree and am curious about the embellishments. Have fun shopping:)
Lovely blue twister tree--I love blues at Christmas...a rest for the eyes from all that red/green...nice one!! hugs, Julierose
Your tree looks great. I'm looking forward to seeing how you decorate it now.
Oh dear! Is the Christmas QAL this weekend? I'm buried under a queen-size quilt I'm trying to get quilted for a show next weekend. Drats!!!
I love your Twister Tree is blues!!! I may have to make one of those one day :*)
Love that twister tree Sharon :-)
Nice haul. The steer skeleton heads do look a little interesting. Your log cabins are beautiful.
Your challenge piece is looking great !! Great haul on the fabric and love the log cabin blocks :-)
Look at all those goodies!
I love the blue Twister tree and those log cabin blocks are gorgeous.
Ah, you r challenge piece is a beauty. Looking forward to seeing your embellishments.
You had to refill those two shelves Sharon otherwise dust will get onto them!
Your blue Christmas tree is adorable! Definitely a challenge well met! But of course I love the red and green blocks too!
Oh, your tree is going to be so pretty. I love it when people say they just whipped up a couple of blocks, it would take me forever to do just one!
Love those cabin blocks. Woo hoo on a good shopping adventure. :)
Great collection of beads!
