Just wanted to share the game gifts I crafted for my honorary daughter who lives in Norway. Rachel is very appreciative of anything I send her but mailing to Norway is EXPENSIVE. I sent her a quilt last year and it was almost 90 dollars to mail it (nevermind what it would cost for fabric, time, and longarming if I did the math). This tiny box had what is pictured along with one books sleeve with "Harris and Me" in it and cost $33.00 to send. They may have had to pay to pick it up to as they have a new law taxing things coming in. UGH. Anyways, my budget is small this year so I chose a game for each member of the family and made it for them. I like all of these games (band aid match is for the two year old and Rove JR. for the seven ish year old. Anyway, I hope they really like the games and do not think it is too odd of a gift. It is the thought that counts right.
I did the RSC and A Quilting Life BOM in rainbow for November. The last block and setting instructions came out today.
I started working on this cute mini sweater wallhanging, but now that Bonnie's mystery has started (and prep for NYE/NYD mysteries, it is just in the wings). The pattern and template and fabric for this came from the Missouri Star box from last year's advent calendar. I may get it again in the future, but this year's budget just did not allow for it.
I decided to make some more microwave bowls since I had all I needed (Barb gifted me some of the inside stuff since she did not want to make any more). I made one for Dad, Jay, Kathy, me, Angie (Jay's girlfriend) and some for who knows who.
Barb also gave me two panels with princess capes on them so I made this for Hazel. She is really into dressing up and has quite a selection. She wears a scarf for the cape though so I think she will love this. I will make the other one for Indie, but it is way too big for her this year.
I did a book swap with my Retreat Readers online book group. Pam and I got each other. She spoiled me. I made her the above book sleeve, but forgot she is also a sewer/quilter. She made me two! One is purple and one is Christmas.Here is clue one in progress for Old Town (Quiltville Mystery).
Here it is complete.
Here is clue 2 complete.
I chose colors from someone's quilt block on Quiltville for the Unity quilt. Hoping I love it when it is done.
