Running behind here

 Kind of forgot to post this week.  When I did remember, it was either late Sunday night or there just wasn't time before lunch with 'the girls' on Monday.

Now, I  have to try to remember what I finished this past week.  I know I  finally got a coin purse made for the last crossbody bag but don't think I took a picture.  Actually, that crossbody bag has two coin purses because I made a second one after deciding that I didn't like the way the first one turned out.  After I  made the second one, I changed my mind and decided that the first one wasn't so bad after all.


Next up was this super simple one.  It was a panel that only needed a couple of borders before being loaded onto Mo'e where I did some straight line stitching, some ribbon candy stitching and then circle stitching around each gnome motif.  I also ended up doing a simple thread tie in the center of each of the smaller circles while I was able to stitch around the gnome and words in the center block.  Top and back are made of cuddly, cozy flannel.

Next up was 2 bibs for my great grandson who was born last May.


I tried to get the photos of the bibs next to each other but just couldn't get it to work.  Oh well.

One more photo to share.  

Some of the kids and grandkids will be getting either cash or a gift card so I made these stockings again this year.  They are cute but I don't think they're as cute as the ones I made last year. 



I think I have 5 done but I might need 2 more.

And that is it for the past week (and a half).  I still have some coasters I want to make for gifts and 2 gifts that will have to wait til after the new year before I work on them - I need more table space to be able to lay them out - so they'll probably be gifts for next year.

Happy Thanksgiving to my American quilty friends.  My son, a nephew and I are meeting up at a restaurant for dinner tomorrow.  I have no desire to cook or bake for just two or three people.

Take care
