This and That

It's a busy time of year for everyone, but it's a good kind of busy.  I've got a few things finished.
Tonight I took the final stitches on the binding. Regardless of a charity quilt, kids quilt or one I make as a gift, I just have to finish the binding by hand. It's the last time to hold the quilt and stitch good wishes into it.

 I wanted to get this and two other quilts in the mail tomorrow, as I hope they can reach NJ before Christmas, so I took the short cut on labels.

  Today I delivered this quilt to M, she is gifting it out to her sister.  Lucky girl! We also took some time to visit over a late lunch.  I wanted to be on the road and heading home before dark.  That was a good call, as it started to snow here at dinner time.

 M makes big quilts, but she also knows how to work with the tiny pieces.  Look at what I got for Christmas!  A Dammitt Doll, you know, the little doll who lets you grab her by the legs and smack her on your desk and get your frustrations out!  But she is a little naked and needed a blankie.

 Look at what my wonderful gal pal made for me.  Yes, that's a dime at the bottom to show how tiny these 1/2 sq's really are. This is so precious!

It was a busy weekend, I had my Applique group meeting on Saturday morning at my LQS, a hair appointment, a visit with a friend and then was off to a party.  Today I did some running around in the a.m. then did visiting all afternoon.

I hope your weekend was as fun and friendship filled as mine was.
