Christmas Fun - Swaps, finishes & Family

Santa Sack Swap

This year I had so much fun with this swap. It started back in July and every moth my partner and I had to send each other gifts and save them till this month to open. It was very hard to not peak!

Here is a pic of everything I got in my sack! Vickie was very generous.

look at these beautiful pins and pincushion she made.

I absolutely love this sewing kit!

Beautiful! Thank you so much for everything you sent me, Vickie!



Finishes

This is a rag quilt I mad for my Husband for Christmas. Each block has original drawings by our children. 

I made this Advent Calender from an idea I saw on Pintrest (I couldn't find the post to share with you) my kids had so much fun putting the count down numbers up everyday!

Family

Here are a few of the Christmas pictures my family took for our holiday cards this year.  I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I wish you all a Happy new year!

Till next time, have fun sewing!

Gifts and A Quilt Top

Happy Birthday to Me

My dear friend Shelley gave me this beautiful hand mad box for my birthday. She aslo gave me two set's of FQ bundles and some lables to personalize my projects. She is such a talented crafter! Thank you dear friend for this wonderful gift!

Santa Sack Swap

This year I am participating in a six month long swap ( Santa Sack Swap ) and I was partnered with Vicki over at A Creative Notion . This is the first package I was sent and I can't even open it! I will have to be tempted wait untill December to open these gifts. It is going to be very hard not to sneak a peak at the packages I will be getting.

Finished Quilt Top

This is what i have been working on this summer. I realy like how it turned out! All i need to do is "stich in the ditch" quilting and the binding, I should be done soon.

New Storage Space

I used to store this stuff in totes and stack it in a corner on my sewing table. My space was getting so cramped  and I was having a hard time keeping my table clean. Also, everytime I went looking for some fabric I would find myself digging to the bottom of the totes and making a mess of my fabric. So I decided to move my things. This pantry/closet was being used more as a catch all space so I cleaned it out and made it my art storage room. I'm so happy to have more space at my sewing table!
