I survived Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Had family here for dinner with 8 of us on Christmas Eve and then 5 of us on Christmas Day. I am pretty much partied out. There is one very nice result of all this and that is lots of left overs, especially deserts.
I did just barely manage to finish some Christmas placemats for husband and I in time to use for the Christmas season. Nice to enjoy them for a few more days.
I have been working for a good couple months of ridding myself of this particular line of fabric. This is pretty much just little scraps mostly 2.5" strips.I ran across a picture of a runner that was the solution to using them. I hope to get a couple more done, then finally finish the scraps off and add another couple runners to my quilt guild's January quilt show boutique. I might just keep one for myself. I just got this fall project back from the quilter and finally the binding on it. Seems like this year I have been behind the power curve all year. I guess better late than not done.
And the last project. Over the past few years our family has increased in size. Once 8 Christmas placemats was enough, well no longer. Grandchildren keep bring in girl friends and boy friends to join the family. I started this one placemat a couple years ago and that is as far as I got. Time to get another 11 done, but seems like might just have to do another 1 or 2 extras too. Going to have to dig out that fabric and see what can make of it.
