Jingle Bells and more!

Yay! Today is the Christmas
Quiltalong
! It is never too late to join us in getting a jump on the holiday season. I have loved all the Christmas projects that I have gotten done on these Saturdays through the year. Thanks so much to Sue and Cathi for hosting this!!!

On today's list will be the Scatty Christmas Stars. I am finally all caught up and can't wait to receive the next step today!

That is the only definite on my list. The rest I am going to work on as the mood strikes me. Other items on today's agenda are: more canning, laundry, Hannah's senior pics and a visit from my oldest daughter, Jess, and her hub, Greg. Looks like it is going to be a great weekend!

I stopped at Craft Bits and Pieces the other day after work and look what I bought!



These are all someone else's ufo's. Why I need to purchase someone else's when I have plenty of my own, I don't know, but I ALWAYS do this! I didn't even look to see what they were. Just grabbed them and left. So, let's open these together! Each update I will post one of the bags and the goodies held inside. You can enjoy the surprise with me!

First up:



The tag says, "Vintage-3 rows finished and fabric to do more" hmm...cool!

This is inside:



Hmm..I dunno about vintage..unless you consider the 1980's vintage. What decade do the fabrics look to you? The pieces are all handstitched:



Not sure what the plan was for these...borders, maybe? Any ideas?

Well, off to get stitching. Will check back in soon!

  2. Maybe borders but maybe a row in between each row of tulips with a stem and leaves to correspond? Just guessing but it would be cute. Can't wait to see your Scatty Stars!
