Welcome to the second month of the Christmas Quilt Along. Today's hostess is Joanna at Needle Thread Happiness. Gosh, she is almost a neighbor! Morning Joanna!! We will be starting to put some of those cut pieces together today. Now you don't have to make the Festive Mystery quilt, grab a Christmas project and sew along with us. I will be using this one blog post for all updates thru the day, so stop back occassionally.
UPDATE
Joanna asked us to share our favorite 60's song or group. I loved the Beach Boys and remembered "Little Saint Nick" - The Beach Boys' Brian Wilson wanted his own Christmas classic. "Little Saint Nick" was released in late 1963 and has been a holiday favorite ever since.
UPDATE
Oh, my , my, - I get to chain my heart out!!! This part should go quickly, and IF I am careful with my 1/4" seam, shouldn't take much trimming up.
UPDATE
I have all my 4-patches finished, trimmed and ready to put in their labeled baggy. I have some errands to run in town and then run the vac to pick up all those threads/trimmings. Then I'll play with my little project until my grandsons come to visit.
UPDATE
Well, the mini base is finished. Now to look for my wools, decide what I want to put in my snowy country window, and then do some applique. Then a little embellishing, stitching, etc.... Gee, I'll have my December Ackfeld hanger mini done! My grands tired me out, so a little nap, dinner, and then I need to sandwich out a quilt. See ya all tomorrow!
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon
Nice to see you!re awake and ready! My sewing machine is on stand-by. Have fun today!
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sharon. It's time for the party to start!
ReplyDeleteI love the Beach Boys too. I'll see if I can get a youtube of them for today. Jeepers, they bring back memories.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time!
ReplyDeleteI love your red fabric, it's so cheerful.
ReplyDeleteI was s sophomore in high school the Christmas that song was released. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other days it seems like the Stone Age.
ReplyDeleteI'm off to exercise; hopefully, I can get in some sewing when I get back. Enjoy your time with your grandsons. I check back later to see what your're up to.
Love those blocks, Sharon - you're ahead of me, but then I have my chores out the way now, and I can play!

ReplyDeleteYour mystery quilt is coming along very nicely. Fun following everyone's progress!!
ReplyDeleteYou are so good to be working on Christmas right now! It's just so hard for me to work that far ahead.......even though I know I should.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what goes in the window. Maybe Santa on his sleigh, or an angel, or a snowman?
ReplyDeleteSounds like fun -- I hope you had a great day!! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what's in the window!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can tell already I am going to love what you have in store for that window! Can't wait to see!
