Have yourself a quilty little Christmas!
September Kit
Block 1 – in progress
9/21/2016

I woke up way too early at 2:30am.  And I couldn’t go back to sleep so I used the found time to work on the first block for Have yourself a quilty little Christmas!  As fiddly as this block is, I actually enjoyed making them and watching the seems come together so nicely.  I admit I over-pinned each part.  I waited for the sun to come out so I can take a good picture and post my progress for you.  It’s still not finished yet as I’ve got sashing and stuff to add before I can move on but I should get that done pretty quickly.

I do have a meeting tonight for one of the committees I’m in with my quilt guild.  We’re having a Sewing Room Tour at 7 homes throughout the San Fernando Valley on Sunday.  I’m excited to see the homes but I can’t wait for this to be done.  Now that the hubby is working, I have had to seriously take a look at all my commitments and reevaluate my involvement.  As much as I enjoyed being a part of the committee, I will not be able to do any more at this time.  I will still be part of the guild and take part in the regular member activities.  I hope that as I get used to my new normal I’ll be able to do something later.

Block 1

I’m working on getting the 3 blocks for August done.  There’s a lot of little fiddly pieces and the worse part is cutting all those pieces.  But it’s so cute and I’m enjoying the process and the fabric.  During the middle of the work week I spend one evening cutting and the other evening piecing everything together.  This is the first block and I hope I can get the other 2 blocks completed by the end of the week.  Wish me luck! 🙂

Here’s the second block for Have Yourself a Quilty Little Christmas.  It takes a lot longer than it looks.  I plan to get a block a week finished since we get 4 blocks per month.  I’m already a month behind so I’m trying to get 2 blocks a week finished until I catch up.  Since it took me a couple of hours to finish this block I’m not sure I have the patience to do 2 blocks a week.

I don’t think I’ve fessed this up yet but … I joined another BOM at my LQS.  It’s called Have Yourself a Quilty Little Christmas! And the link to it is here. It started last month but June was taken up with the vacay so I just started working on it.  It’s based on Lori Holt’s book “Quilty Fun!”  I still need to create a project page for this but I wanted to get this picture posted for now. 🙂
