I worked this morning (after a late night out with DJ, first at Pink Spot and then at Charlies' Bar) and then had no energy to do anything. Eventually I went in and did some sewing. I added a border to this little quilt.
Then I cut it with that wicked Lil' Twister ruler and put it up on my wall. I have one more to add a border to and do. One of these is for a quilt swap I signed up for (what was I thinking!) it really stresses me out because I worry I am not sending the same quality work as I am getting. But time to bite the bullet and just do it! I thought this little quilt would be nice and I most likely will tie it because I don't want to ruin it with my quilting! I may do the other one is either green, brown or the light aqua fabric since I have chunks of each of those. The best one will be heading off (or the one that is done by mail date!).
I quilted another tablerunner for DJ's family. Of course the dogs took turns posing on it. This is Bug.I finally machine bound Christopher's Quilt of Valor. Not bad from that galloping horse I hope you are on!
Once again this was from Amy's Passions BOM last year. I added a Navy block to it since Christopher is in the Navy and I am really proud to give this one to him and his fiance this Christmas!
I did do some cutting and sewing of Orca Bay units, but didn't get any more assembled. Feels like a tiny drop in a big bucket, but I wanted to get some of that Christmas stuff going. I am SO looking forward to next week...I will be off work for four whole days! I plan to really be getting some stuff done, but of course Bonnie will give us a new clue on Friday so I will be lucky to be caught up on that. I still love it though!

Love that sampler quilt...hope Amy sees it! I was laughing about the galloping horse line...it looks great from here!
What great Christmas projects! I just flagged that tree skirt to make in the next week or so. We'll see if I get on it by the time we get our tree.
The patriotic quilt is very good. I am always attracted to red, white, & blue quilts.
I love your sampler quilt. I finished the one for the first half of the year from Amy's BOM and gave it to my daughter. It is one of my favorite quilts that I've made. I still fully intend to do the other half of the year's blocks. Yours turned out so nice, it makes me want to get started.
