A Completed Gift

One small handmade gift was completed in time for gift giving. Per the previous posting, this is a wool ornament in a mitten shape which was perfect for holding a gift card. It was given to a young skating instructor.

There may be more wool in future projects as I enjoyed working with with this material.

Happy New Year!

Last Minute Gift Giving

This weekend I am sewing a cute little wool project for gift giving.

A wool mitten with a skate applique. It is part of a kit that was purchased at the Fall Paducah AQS Quilt Show. It can be an ornament, gift tag or decoration. The small wool project is working up rather quickly (a good thing this week).

This particular wool mitten will be a gift card holder as a thank you to my granddaughter's skating instructor. 

It is a small goal accomplished to finish a project purchased at a quilt show.  If you have time, see what others are making with Kathy at another great Slow Sunday Stitching.

Should you be interested in similar kits for next year, they are available at Rachel's of Greenfield. I have no connection with Rachel.

Slow Santa Stitching

The needlepoint Santa that I am stitching for a gift is going way too slow.... I filled in some spots today and plan to stitch the red dots on the white gift.

With only two weeks to go, I am becoming realistic on my inability to finish before Christmas. I forgive myself as other holiday family doings have come along that are also a priority. In the past week, I hosted our family's annual gingerbread house decorating party. Hint: teens will continue to attend as long as you feed them ;-)

We toured the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House with its Christmas decorations welcoming holiday visitors. It is open to the public year round and is a place I highly recommend touring should you be in the Metro Detroit area.

Hopefully, others are making better progress with Kathy on Slow Sunday Stitching.
