Old Age Day by Day November 21, 2011

I'm getting caught up in errands and holiday planning.  I also watched a few movies during the rainy bits of the weekend.  It's sunny now, and I'm getting excited just thinking about Christmas.  The radio station is playing Christmas songs 24/7 and I'm a happy camper.  I have so many sewing projects half done, but I'm very positive about accomplishing them, even though a few are left over from last Christmas.  I tried not to go crazy at the fabric store yesterday, but I'm not sure I succeeded. 

I still think it's a miracle when pieces of material get attached and become a tablecloth or runner or curtains.  I love making quilts.  I have fun picking fabrics that look good together, and adjusting what I have to make something that works.  Of course, this process includes the times I feel like taking a hammer to the sewing machine, and how frustrating it is when I've missed a seam or have to add thread to the bobbin when I'm on a roll.  Perhaps the recipients don't appreciate the results, but I'm proud as a peacock.

So let's see if I can make these darn placemats and napkins I've cut out, and devise a tablecloth quilt.  I'm ready to take it on!
