Productive weekend

I'm not saying I got a LOT done, but it's a LOT compared to most weekends.

Friday, I finished the quilting on this quilt....

 I finished the binding and label on Sunday night.  It wouldn't have taken me so long to do the binding if I had done it all by machine, but because I didn't leave a lot of room between the feathers I quilted into the borders and the edge of the quilt, I felt I really needed to stitch the binding on to the front first, then bring it around to the back and hand stitch down.   I didn't do a sleeve, but will probably do that at a later date.

Then it was on to working on my Christmas row-by-row.  I can't remember if I worked on these Saturday or Sunday - maybe both.

Once I make sure they are the right size, the two pieces will be sewn together end to end to make one longer row.  They didn't take long once I got started on them, I just dreaded doing them for some reason.  Now, I have mittens to do for the next row ( actually, it's the previous row but I got out of order - not a big deal).  When I went to print out the patterns for the mittens, I found that my printer was printing them too small.   I played around and THINK I have them the right size now.  Will check to make sure; if not, then I'll have to contact the designer to see if she will send me the correct size pattern.

Tomorrow, I'm meeting up with cousin Cathy, and quilting friends, Vicki and Joyce.  We are pooling our talents together and making another quilt for the Festival of Trees this year.  We've done it twice in the past; lots of fun.

Thursday I will try and get back to working on the Christmas row by row and then by the weekend, maybe I'll be able to get caught up on my Amish with a Twist project; including this month, I have THREE to get done.

I have a quilt ready to load onto Mo'e - just need to piece the backing - maybe I can do that tonight  or tomorrow morning before I leave to meet 'the girls'.  We'll see.
