Nancy, your nephew's quilt is awesome! I loved the applique, quilting and striped points. Thanks for showing us your process. It's always interesting to hear how someone else thinks through a project!

Terry, what great way to use up scraps and play with the grandkids!

Thanks to TQS for posting this also.

I took a bit of a detour and made a few folded star ornaments that were blogged about on this site. You can see what I made:

Look out though, I wasn't able to stop at one!!!

Hi all -

I just finished my nephew Trevor's wallhanging, just in time for Christmas! I decided to call it Grandma's Choice since it was made with a set of fabrics that were given to me by my mom, with a few additions from me. I wrote about the quilting choices in a new blog post here. If interested, please stop by.

That finishes all of my Christmas sewing, just in time!

Thanks!

Hi Judy. Thanks for taking the time to read my blogs! I have tried the #72 foot in the store and liked it very much. I have one on order because it has a height adjustment that I think will be fantastic for using on my Q20, even though I already have the #96 for that. Q20 has no height adjustment on it, though it works for almost everything. I saw from Lisa Calle, the Bernina Q series ambassador, that she found it to be really useful on her Q24, so after trying it in the store, I decided to get one too. Besides, it would work on my 830 if I have something special I wanted to do with ruler work there too. Unfortunately the first batch was already spoken for, so mine is still on order. LOL.

Betty Jo,
Thank you for sharing things you have learned about rulers, thread and gloves on you blog. I read all 5 of them. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Have you tried the new Bernina ruler foot and the Bernina rulers?

I finished a section of grid quilting. You can read about it here:

I've started quilting the base lines for the outer border of my quilt. You can read about it here:

I stitched the first line in my narrow purple border. I posted about it here:

Now, I'm going to read Nancy's post!

One things for sure, none of your friends or family are going to have cold heads this year!
Thank you for the tutorial on making gift bags, that's a really nice idea and so cheerful. I like the little ironing block it looks very useful, I shall watch out for one.

Hi all -

This year I've been busily not only making gifts, but making gift bags for the gifts. I really like how my gift bags turned out and wrote up a blog post with a tutorial for making the bags. If you're interested, you can see the tutorial here. I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks!

Hi all l-

I finally finished my last blog post on this year's Houston show. This post shows a bunch more of the quilts in the special exhibits. If interested, you can read the post here.
Now I can move on to more of the stuff that I'm doing......

Enjoy!

I finished stitching the "bones" of the design and posted about it here:

Darn! I wasn't able to use rulers.

I'm working on quilting a project and posted about it here:

Thanks, Nancy for your comment to my post last Sunday.
