Winter Sewing!

I literally woke up at 5:00 am with sugar plums of sewing and quilting dancing in my head!
And since it's icy and foggy cold outside...

...what better place to spend my Winter Break from teaching than in my basement studio:

If ya peeked through the windows, you'd say: 
"Yep! It's time to uncover the ol' long-arm and get going again Val!"
(Atleast that's what my mom keeps telling me...love you mom!)

Here are the things on my holiday to-do list that I hope you'll find some inspiration from:
QUILTING:
1. Both Sun Bonnet Sues: FMQ/Cross-hatching done!
2. Christmas Charms: Christmas Pantograph  done! See it here.
3.  Project Linus: Cute children's pantograph done! See it here.

SEWING:
1. Quick charm pack top  done! See it here.
2. Paw Patrol Receiving Blanket   done! See it here.
2. Get out the ol' Neighborhood Blocks and play! I did! See here.
3. Work on my Metro Rings.
4. Start a "made fabric" project.I did!

APPLIQUE:
1. Finish my cabin block (I've been in a serious funk!)
2. Prep two more of these blocks for January Stitching
2. My January Wool Banner done! See it here.

Hey, what can I say:

And now that I have my list here, I can crumble up this piece of paper I've been scribbling notes on all week at work in anticipation of this break! I hope ya stop by often as I share my creations and
 maybe find a little inspiration along the way.

  2. Oh yes, those ambitious lists. My problem is after making the list I almost feel as if I've accomplished something and I need a nap from all that effort! You go girl and don't forget to take a nap.

  6. You have a big to do list! I am teaching the Quilty Fun row along as a BOM this year. I am nervous about teaching adults--we are starting with the cocoa cups in January. Enjoy the weather and your cozy quilting.

  10. It is so hard to imagine that somewhere in the world it looks like that right now. I feel like jumping into that photo and rolling in the snow so I can cool down a little bit. That's a great view through the window, it reminds me a little of Santa's workshop.

  16. I'm soooo jealous!!! Looks like we are having a very green Christmas this year. I miss cold snowy Christmases. It's been awhile since the weather has cooperated. Hopefully no one from where I live is reading this...they may club me :) Hope you have a very productive holiday, Val.
