Finishing up Christmas and a Few Other Things...

I am happy to say I have made it through the year and have a few wonderful things to be proud of. For me one of the biggest is following along with Little Miss Shabby's Birdie Stitches. I loved them a year ago and I love them now. They are just so sweet. I finished this last one the first week of this month but I am only just now posting about it. I can't wait until next month to make it a top. Then I will find time to make it into a quilt. Thank you these patterns have been great.

I made two extra hexies this month for the gals that sent me hexies. There was a mix up and I got two sets. I felt so bad that one of them sent me a set when they did not have to and now would have to make another set for their correct partner. I hope they like them. They should have them by now or soon.

The partner I had in October got behind. Well what a shocker that I got the mail and here they were. Like an extra Christmas gift. I love them. Thank you!

Every year I make gifts for some of my closer nieces and nephews. This year I made wallets. I added 4 quarters for the girls and a dollar bill for the boys. They are great little wallets. I used a tutorial from Noodlehead. She has some great tutorials. Go check them out.

My last block for this year for Let's Bee Together was for Wendy. She had us use some very pretty Christmas fabric. I love it. I hope she likes her block.

Maniac Monday #6 on Wednesday again:)


Maniac Monday on Wednesday, LOL!

Here is my last list:

1. Make blocks 11,12, and 13 for Celebrate Christmas Quilt Along.
2. Let's Bee Together block for October.
3. Finish Le Petite Mon Ami.
4. Finish Le Petite Ric-Rac.
5. Pick out and cut fabric for Le Petite George.

I did number 2. I will show you below, but as far as any of the Le Petite, they have become UFO's. I will get back to the Celebrate Christmas Quilt Along block as soon as I finish a few obligations. 
 
I will show you a few things that I did.
 
I made a pouch for my stitcheries. I love this cute fabric.
 I added this pocket to separate my hoop from my floss.
 Here is everything in it.

I finished my September Birdie Stitches. So cute. Now that I look at it I forgot the yellow leaf at the bottom. I love these birdies!!

I finally finished my block for Let's Bee Together for Bailey. It sure was a fun block to make.
 
Now a few things that were sent to me.
Elizabeth from pieceful life was my partner for October for Block Swap Adventure. This is the block she sent me. The following picture is of some fabric she also sent me, LOVE IT!!

I received blocks 10 and 11for my turn from Let's Bee Together. This is from Melinda. Now I am just missing one more from Mollie.
 
This one is from Carolyn.
She sent me so extra fabric. A piece of Christmas fabric and a 30's fabric with sweet little flowers on it.
 
So my list for next week is simple. I don't want to bog myself down since I am starting late.
1. Finish a gift for a friend.
2. Canton Village BOM block 1 and 2.
3. Birdie Stitches for October.
4. Designer Mystery BOM for October.
5. Binding on Jayden's wall hanging.
 
I hope this will not be another bust.
