*temporarily insane!

So this past week, I slipped into a state of temporary insanity! I, on Sunday night, decided that I "could" make a quilt for a dear lady in my life - BEFORE Christmas. Mind you, I would need to piece it, set it in, quilt it, bind it, wash it and then MAIL it all before a Christmas delivery.

It all started when I found these lovely designs on in my embroidery folders! Aren't they great? I thought so.  I stitched them out with nothing immediately in mind for a project in which they would be a part of.  So they laid there, waiting.

Then on Monday I had this terrible, horrible, no good idea to start piecing some borders on them and I could make them into a lap quilt for this Christmas present I speak of. So I worked my fingers to the bones for several hours..  In the midst of all of this my dear hubby came into the workshop (sewing room) and asked what I was up to. So I shared that I had decided to make a quilt as a Christmas present. He simply asked, "This Christmas?"

So after hours of work.. and much thought I decided that I would make an apron instead. So I did! The present goes in the mail today! Merry Christmas!

Henry, once again agreed to model for me.
