First things first…the giveaway results! For my last giveaway I had my daughter choose a random number; this time I decided to use the “random number generator!” So….congratulations to….Jacquie of Tallgrass Prairie Studio! Jacquie, please e-mail me your snail-mail address, and I’ll send the little Christmas goodies on their way, just in time for decorating! With preparation, one can accomplish a lot with little bits of time. My preferred way to sew is to be able to have hours and hours with no phone calls, housework, or interruptions; that’s just not the way it usually goes, though! Especially during holidays and other busy times, I’ve had to learn to work with little bits of time. This weekend I was able to get some things accomplished because I had done much of the preparation work last week. I machine quilted and bound (with scrappy binding) one of my Fig & Plum table runners. I also made three fabric baskets and two little “This and That” bags from some of my Fig & Plum scraps. Nine potholders are sewn together and ready to be machine quilted. So I accomplished a little.

Lorraine says
wow….lots of lovely things there…and that B&W table runner is just fabulous!! I agree with you about spending some time in prep work….it makes it so much easier when you just have that hour or so to spend sewing…I love those little "This & That" bags….have made lots and they make great gifts…..!
