Santa's workshop



DH and Tig gave me some sewing time yesterday. I played around with my new serger and used some misprinted Christmas fabric to make quick gift bags. I need to find a better instruction manual to make the darn thing really work!


I made two of these candy pillowcases for the boys. I used this tutorial http://maryquilts.com/pillowcase/ and it worked very nicely. I love Mary's blog. She's so prolific and generous.



I also worked on my tree skirt. This horrible picture shows the end is near!

I still have a few other sewing giftie ideas for the boys. I would like to make a bean bag game for them and maybe the elephant from Last Minute Patchwork for Tig.

That tree skirt is so cute - and so unique. I've never ever come across one like it. It is so fun seeing everyone's decorations.

I came over from Nanette's blog. Isn't it great? She's right about your tree skirt - cute and very unique. I could see that as a nice gift for my sister. Hmmmmmm! Maybe next year! :-)

Blocks for the Saturday sampler

These are the latest blocks for the Saturday Sampler.  I made the one with the friendship star this morning.  I think it is really pretty.  ...
