I should not break the self imposed rules......late last night I decided to cut out a simple three piece skirt for DGD  won't you know it I laid the pattern pieces backwards..sea side in gold of fabric.  Thankfully I had made this one the next size bigger so should be able to put a narrow back seam and there was   fabric to recut the front.  I know better what was I thinking.

Need to get started on quilt for DGS birthday the end of January but holding off to make sure I don't need to make any gifts for Christmas. Don't like having to many projects going at once.

Hello

My name is Donna and I am new to your forum!  Merry Christmas everyone!

I am  working on way too many projects at once, especially trying to get everything ready for Christmas!  I did finally finish my wall hanging for my sister called Sequoia, which is all applique. 

Now, I am working on Dastardly Dragon quilt for my grandson, which is mostly applique.  I have it traced onto the paper and am now in the process of cutting out the pieces.   This is a picture of the pattern that I bought.  

On top of that, I have another eye spy Churn Dash top for my granddaughter.   She chose the fabrics and we are working on it together. She is 5 years old and loves to help grandma.  

Once I get these done, I have many more UFOs and BOMs to finish!  Should keep me crazy for a while!

Welcome, Donna!  Your pending projects are wonderful!  

You'll find a lot of supportive quilters here.  Feel free to jump in any thread or start a new one. 

Please keep us in the info loop on your projects' progress!

I will,  Thank you, Pirate!  

Besides, we're always eager to embrace new victims ...... er, quilters.  :-)

But of course!   We need new victims to pass on our UFOs to.  

Adorable granddaughter!

Thank you!  She comes over for an hour or 2 a few times a week and loves to sew.  She lives next door so I get to sit with her.  She has her own play sewing machine and has made a few purses for herself already!  She's my little sweetheart, Annalee.  

Annalee looks like a wonderful helper and you are so lucky to have her next door.  I'm jealous!!

Please keep posting photos of your work so we can enjoy seeing your creative efforts and your assistant over the weeks and months ahead.
