power through

We are having a Christmas party on the 16th here, and I am trying desperately
to get this quilt done in time to have it on my bed... Think I can do it?
eek! I'm not sure... I keep getting sidetracked... 

You know how that goes right?

(updated: (king size, of course. 
now to press again, choose a backing and pin baste! )

 Our granddaughter had a sneak peek at her quilt in the works this weekend... 

We had a quick visit from them here in NYC, and I got a very bouncy, smile, 

"Yes I love it, " nod of approval from her.... Phew!

Now I need to power through to get it done and shipped...

 I added a few strips to this  Round robin going around our Guild.  
Jess, started it from a scrap bag swap we did, then Andrea grabbed it,
now I snatched it... and I will send it on to someone in the group.
That used up my 15 plus time yesterday... what fun!

TREE up. bottom row of lights, NOT!  Two strings of lights have burnt out on the 

bottom of my tree... I'm out of lights and patience with it... 

SO we will keep pour half lit tree as it is...  

Good grief Charlie Brown!  

(that's on tomorrow night by the way)  hehe!

And, Taryn had commented "The tree skirt looks great! Confession time...

if it was mine is quite likely that it would not get bound this year

and entirely possible we'd be telling the grandkids the story about why 

granny's tree skirt still isn't finished."

hmmm, 

and now that she mentions it, Mine probably won't get bound either! haha!

there's always next year...

we had the NYC MOD guild on saturday, 
and they pretty much agreed.. so, it  may go unfinished...

Happy sewing...
Find some time to do nothing in the christmas chaos... 
It will do you good.
