Well I have put the pedal to the metal as they say. I got 6 scarves complete last night. I made some minky scarves using the Missouri Star Quilt Co. YouTube video. And it is quick and easy but not as easy as she makes it look. Minky is a little different to work with. Kinda slick and a little thick. All and all very nice gifts and easy to whip up so I give it 5 stars :)
Still working on quilts 1/2 of one bound and ready to sandwich another. Gonna be close on the time frame, but I work better under pressure.
The you tube link is bellow if you have forgotten someone and need to whip up something nice give it a try.

Hello dear ones...
Well I have been quilting my fingers off (literally). Two quilts all quilted and awaiting my favorite binding (insert sarcasm). I have one more to cut piece, sandwich, quilt and bind before the big day! Oh please let me get it done. I have a big weekend and have not had the chance to sew. My birthday (yeah yeah insert red face) so we went out all day yesterday. Today I have to study up for a forestry test next week. Its a little harder to id trees without leaves so I need to brush up on my bark identification. I know that sounds so thrilling!
This is how you take care of a rotary cutter run in when you do not have time to stop and find a band-aid! yep that is how we roll! All us hard core quilters are really worried about is not getting blood on the fabric and this worked pretty well!
So I hope you are way more prepared with your gifts than I am and have some time to actually relax a little before Christmas (oh I also have not wrapped one present!)
Have a fabulous week and if I happen to actually finish something I will post pictures :)

Oh the Christmas train
Oh my the Christmas train is coming in way to fast. I am quilting my fingers to the bone. I am so bad at FMQ! That will be on my New Years list to please learn better. I just can't get my speed and the machine speed going the way it needs to be. I have got the deer quilt about 1/2 done then two more and I am waiting on some fabric to finish the top and back of another one. I really don't think I am gonna make it and I have no clue what I will do about it. I guess I can give I owe yous lol! I will post pics of some finished items as soon as I have a finished item.
What are you guys scrambling to get done?
