Tidying Up

 It's been raining non stop here for days and since I ran out of gingerbread to sew (finally!), I decided it was time to clear up the mess in the sewing room. That table was covered with boxes and scraps yesterday. Now I have a spot to sew on.



 I went looking for a holiday project and I didn't have to look far. Daddio's last quilt, his wonky Christmas log cabin quilt was sitting in a corner waiting patiently.



 I intend to spend my evenings sewing away while plowing through my vast Christmas DVD collection. I added The Man Who Came to Dinner this year.



I love Monty Woolley and not just because of his name. The guy was hilarious.



While I'm watching, I am going to put together a wonky border hoping to use up Daddio's giant stash of Christmas material. It's hard to believe this time last year we were drinking tea and sewing together. What a difference a year made. Sigh.

  2. That's exactly what I need to do with my studio. I love that you still have projects that you and Daddio worked on together. That quilt is so much more than just a quilt.

  5. Oh I love the idea of a Christmas Log Cabin quilt. I like those colors with the frosty blue and of course the red and green. :) I think my favorite black and white movies this time of year are the nick and Nora Charles Thin Man series, are you familiar?
