Happy New Years Eve!

Happy New Years Eve!

I have not gotten a bit of sewing done since before Christmas. Guess that was good though, have not bought anything either!

Ryan (My Dear Husband and Santa) filled my stocking with all sorts of quilting gadgets. He picked out a new set of rulers, of various sizes, 12.5", 9.5", 6.5", and 4.5", some new sewing machine needles of various sizes and a new set of extra fine glass head pins. I can not wait to get started using my new tools.

First on the list of things I want to work on is to finish the binding on a Christmas Advent Calender. Then to work on finishing my Christmas String Block Quilt. The string blocks were from a swap on the HGTV Message board. Brandyquilter was our wonderful hostess and I got several neat blocks back. I was not so excited with how the top was turning out, but I persevered and well I am still not sure I like the final result. Ryan does though and that is what counts! I did manage to use stash for the border, backing and batting! Way to go!
