Christmas Eve




On Christmas Eve, I am without my kids. I eventually will head over to my parents' house for dinner (they are probably wondering why I haven't called yet). I've been cutting out fabric for a quilt since yesterday night. Three hours last night, probably three more so far today, and I'm not done yet. But I need to rest my brain for a while. It's colored out. I did want to post some pictures of my studio during quilt-making, because I saw a website with all these pictures of peoples' stashes, and they were so NEAT. I'm sure they cleaned up for the photo, and I actually got messy for the photo. I can't stand having the ironing board up for long periods of time, but I need the extra flat space when I'm choosing fabrics. I hate cleaning up afterward too. I'd like to get all the fabrics chosen for this sucker tonight, if possible, maybe as the reindeer hooves tap down onto my roof. Never know. BTW, there are three cats currently in the studio. Limbo most obviously is on the chair under the ironing board. I don't think you can see Willow, but she's behind the sewing machine, fast asleep. Juni is on the green cat bed under the shelves, also deeply asleep.

Very Small


This is 3" x 3 1/4". Insane. I needed a Christmas ornament for an exchange, so I made this little baby landscape quilt. I need to figure out how to make a hanger. A smart thinker would have sewn a hanger into the seam. It's late. What can I say?
