WIP Wednesday 12.11.19

I'm making progress on prepping gingermen blocks for my sew-to-go bag.



I made some purple Sand Castle blocks this week for the RSC19.  This is a Bonnie Hunter pattern.


I've been making a stitch or two in my holiday apron.  No, it wasn't ready for Thanksgiving...  This was a WIP that I found at Goodwill.  The project fits perfectly in my sew-to-go bag.

Backs are made and ready for this pile of quilts!  I updated the status of each in the list below.


This is my Short & Sweet finished table topper flimsy (in the pile above).  It's my December OMG project to finish this month.  I need to get some longarm time.  The pattern is by Kim Diehl.



It's hard to not post fun pictures of our "little squirt" -- that's not so little now.  I know he grew at least 1.5" since June.  I love this picture!  It's obvious how much he admires Daddy.

Sweet picture of Ed and O!! Please explain why it appears that your Gingerbread Man is being machine sewn. I know it's your new Sew-to-Go project so I'm confused.

I can't believe how grown up he is now!
