Small Finishes

      I expect this is a very busy time of year for you as it is for me. I have had a quilt sandwich sitting for the past month and I have not touched it except to move where it sits. We enjoyed Thanksgiving with my siblings, a niece, a nephew and children. It was a much smaller group than a couple of years ago; however, still very nice.

     I found time to make a few smaller things. I finished one of my red bird wall-hangings. The second will probably wait until after Christmas.

     My younger GD requested Christmas pajamas for her bear. Here is the finished outfit that I will deliver at the end of this week.

She loves to decorate her bedroom for each season and also requested that I make a snowflake pillow. I found a template online. I am not totally happy with the result but hope she will be. It was rather fiddly to sew and the stretch of the furry material distorted the shape. 

I used the extra material to make two soft infinity scarves.

     Saturday I decided to make a couple of Christmas placemats for a quick gift.

I hope you are getting sewing/quilting projects finished if you plan to give them for Christmas so you are not stressed out.
