Are you ready for a giveaway?

Sewing with pals...



...can be dangerous!

Yesterday my friend came over to sew and assaulted my ironing board!  Hahahaha - after she apologized profusely I told her not to worry about it, it's FUNNY, and that I fully planned on teasing her relentlessly about it for a very long time.  ;)

This week has been a busy one.  I have been working hard in preperation for Christmas and in my world that means sewing day and night.  I mean it too when I say day and night!  Yesterday I sewed for six hours straight on my little Brother, and I don't think it was too happy with me.  Four of those hours were free motion and I've been working that machine pretty hard over the past week or so.  It started making a really crazy lagging grinding noise.  EEK!  Hopefully I didn't wear it out already.  I think I might sew  more than this little machine is intended for!!!  Right now the Husband and I are planning a large quilty purchase in the spring, but after that I'd really like to get my  hands on a Juki!  I hear such great things about them and from what I understand they are really made for the heavy free motion work load I put my sewing machines through.

So are you ready for a give away after the busy holiday weekend we just had???  Keep an eye out for my next post!

Christmas Quilt

On the sewing table today is a Christmas table quilt I'm working on.  I had a long and fun visit with my Mom today, so afterwards I pieced this quick top.  I pulled a few fabrics for applique holly leaves and berries but am escaping the children a few minutes here and posting instead of sewing!


The middle daughter can finally reach the sewing machine foot pedal, so today she experimented.  Just practice stitching, but she was thrilled.  :)  I promised both oldest girls that we could buy fat quarters tomorrow when we grocery shop and they could make Christmas gifts for my Mother in Law's yorkies - Harley and Bella.  Lol*  They cannot wait...and I'm looking forward to it myself.
