Finished

But not quilted yet.  I just got the final border on my Sweet Pea top.  Love!
Pattern - Sweet Pea.  Fabric - Sanibel.  Both by Anka's Treasures
The colors just scream ME.  Seriously.  And I love it.  I'm talking myself into quilting this one myself.  Super simple like straight lines.  Nothing fancy.  I can't bare to mess up.  But for now, it will stay a flimsy until I find some backing for it.  I think I'm just going to get a brown of some sort.  Something that I can pick up locally.

Santa Sack Swap... ready to go!  Finally.  Slacker.  Now I have to get myself to the post office.  That will be tomorrow morning's chore.  Once Melissa gets the package and opens the ONE gift, I will show you the sack I made.


I have a few other things to show you but they aren't ready yet.  Amelia is away all weekend long.  She'll be back on Tuesday.  She's headed to NH with my in-laws for the holiday.  Which means that I have allll kinds of sewing time.  I have 4 more projects that are on my list that NEED TO GET DONE this weekend.

I'm going to be busy!
Enjoy your day!
Jen

    Hey, hey, hey...I like your colorway. So cheery...just like you. LOVE it. I also like your ideas for quilting it. Sounds like you are going to have loads of fun sewing time this weekend. I am going to try to quilt mine this weekend...I am going to meander, I think. So, I survived my garage sale today...had a great turn out, did great, feel great...just tired! LOL
