Well, gosh, didn't mean to disappear for so long. It's been sweatshop sewing, decorating, and plenty of work and family of late. I did get the binding on my Lucky quilt in time to share at the guild meeting, but haven't gotten any better photos. You can see the random box quilting my sister Kathy did pretty well here. I think it looks great and hope to get some outdoor photos sometime this week.
Kathy also quilted this lap size Sliced Cake (a la Canoe Ridge Quilting).
I finished this top during my Three for March self-challenge. Kathy hooked up the longarm's computer to quilt this design she named "Annie's BS Swirl", lol. I haven't had a chance to make binding for it yet. This is a fun method for using lots of prints.
There was also a lot of work on the star blocks for Barb's Oh My Stars swap.
I saw a hint on Instagram about cutting apart flying geese a fast way. It worked really well. There are now 17 completed blocks and the remaining ones in various stages of completion. I want to get these in the mail right after Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas, decorating was finally accomplished Saturday, only a week after we got our tree, sheesh.
Very happy to have the tree skirt I finished for the Fair now under the tree.
A few vignettes on the kitchen cupboard end shelf.
And my latest cross-stitch staged on my Grandma's recipe box. This was a free Lizzie Kate design I jazzed up with a border, extra cookies, and my own color scheme for the cup.
I posted this guy on IG, noting his pensive look while resting up for the big night with Santa :).
There will be lots more sewing this week, I have a Secret Santa gift to finish up, plan to sew some fabric wrapping bags, and a couple of scarves. Oh, and do some Christmas shopping....
Hope everyone is taking time to enjoy the season and plans with family and friends.

Your decorating looks lovely.
It's always fun to stop by and see what you are working on.
Congrats on the finishes. December can be nuts with end of year stuff and then the holiday preparations. Your house looks very festive. Hope you are getting in some good stitching time too.
