Holiday stuff

 I wrapped what I hope is my last package for Christmas this morning.  Almost everything is sitting on the treadmill which we rarely use - it looks like a sleigh!  As soon as we get our Christmas village "tree" up, some of the items will move there, and the rest will go to the library for the staff appreciation lunch.

My last quilted Christmas gift of the year is this table runner from McCall's Quick and Easy Quilts, designed by Aby Dolinger.  It's made with various scraps and the outer border was from a fat quarter on the guild "free" table.  The back is a red fabric with dogs in Santa hats, very appropriate for the recipients, our dog-loving next door neighbors.  

Yesterday was a Sew Day due to snow, strong winds, and chilly temperatures.  Today we have a beautiful blue sky, but it was six degrees when we woke up.  This calls for indoor activities today:  working on Christmas letters, perhaps balancing my check book, and some hand applique.
