Found an owl-dorable stitched ornament in my mailbox, thanks to Toni! Don’t you just want to eat him up? Toni drew my name in the ornament swap here on my blog, and she sent some delicious chocolates too!
Stitched up the smallest size of the Lined Drawstring Bag pattern by Jeni at In Color Order. Since it’s so tiny, I used ribbon for the drawstring instead of fabric. Now, who will get this for Christmas…?
Went to a fundraiser concert and two holiday parties, one of which was with the ladies of the Indy Modern Quilt Guild. Received another fab ornament (of our guild’s logo!) and spent so much time snacking and chatting that I really didn’t sew a thing.
Stayed up late quilting, to make up for a weekend of not much sewing. How was your weekend?
