This Month's Challenge~

In our family,

I get to make stockings for the holidays.

It seems to take as long as 

a full-sized quilt does, but they bring back a lot of 

memories all hung up.

This month I have a couple to start and finish.

The bigger challenge, though, 

might be connecting online at the end of month

when they are done.

Our big plan is to get the family

all together for Thanksgiving!  

Our kids, families, and a few friends

will come from all directions

to celebrate.

I had better get to sewing before it is time

to start traveling!

Do you have plans?

Please stop by Melissa and Shanna's 

blogs to see what everyone is working on.....

An August Finish~

Yay!!

I am so glad to finish

and have this stocking ready for hand-delivery.

Maybe I am more excited about seeing 

Miss Sweetness and her parents in person?

I hope she enjoys it for years and years!

All tied up in flannels.....

Wednesday Making Progress~

I am happy to be making progress on this little piece.

I have known what pattern I wanted to use for a while,

but picking out fabric was a challenge.

I do like it so far!

Back to work.....

I am linking up at Freshly Pieced 

where you can lots of ideas!

A Lovely Year of Finishes August's Goal~

It worked so well in July, I am making the commitment for August too!

This is my goal:

To turn this pile of fabric

into a Christmas stocking for a special little girl!

Oh, which three fabrics should I use.....
