Let the fun begin!!!

Well it's finally here!

The first official day of the "bers" :)

Only 16 Saturdays left until Christmas!!!

Are you working on Christmas gifties yet?

Those of you who have been reading my blog

for a while know that I hate to pay full price.

So I have some great news to share!

Purses and totes make wonderful gifts,

so you might want to check out Michelle Patterns.

Just click the link on my right hand sidebar.

She's having a sale this weekend for 20% off using

coupon code "laborday" at checkout.

I've made several of her bags 

and her patterns are totally FTS (fun to sew)

You can see them HERE, HERE, HERE, and HERE

I'll be making some more very soon :)

Now on to my work in progress.

I have the 12 months blocks hand quilted

in red perle cotton.

Now I have to decide how I want to quilt the rest of it.

Decisions, decisions..... 

I also started cutting some of my scrap fabrics into 2 1/2" squares

so that I can make some Great Granny Square blocks.

I've seen them all over the internet 

and I know I'm a little late to be jumping on that train,

 but I'm smitten now 

and I really want to give them a whirl :)

(I blame Pinterest)

I've also done a bit more stitching on my rooster. 

He's not as far along as I would like,

but I've been hand quilting at night

instead of cross stitching.

 

I hope you all find some time in this long holiday weekend

for some crafty goodness!
