Well we have finally made it to November. We are getting into full on Christmas sewing time, or at least I am anyways! My goal for this month is to finish the quilt I was working on when I sewed my finger on Sunday (read about it here). It is a Christmas present for someone very special in our lives and I have to finish it 2 weeks before Christmas. Here’s the plan, do the FMQ when I get my sewing machine back and then I will have 2 weeks to bind it before I gift it. I am giving it 2 weeks early so I have to make sure I get my timing just right.
I’m really hoping and praying that my machine is back on Monday or Tuesday next week to give me plenty of time to quilt.
Your turn!
