OK... so who's got holiday sewing started? Who plans to do some sewing? Halloween costumes? Thanksgiving window treatments or table treatments? Maybe some Christmas gifts? I started some jammies for my daughter that she asked for and a quilt... hoping that I manage to get the quilt finished in time!! I wanted to make my halloween costume, but didn't because my son's College Open House is the same night as the town's Halloween party.  I plan to make a couple of other things as well... we'll see how much time I manage to find. So, do tell!! What are all of your projects?? Kaza[/size]  |

I'm making a reversible polar fleece bed throw/blanket. One side is going to be a fall type Northwoods Print and the other is a Winter Pine/Pine Cone print. I picked up some really cute material with sunflowers and chickens that compliments my dishes; I plan on making new kitchen curtains-not a big job since there's one window over the sink and just the window in the door going outside. ;D I know it's not sewing but I have had a 'I taught myself to knit' kit for about 4 yrs now. I never even opened it and now I'm actually going to give it a try! I may end up making the worlds longest scarf but at least I can say " I made it".  |

I'm dressing two American Girl type dolls for some young ladies...
And hoping to get this quilt block swap finished on HT so I'll have more time.
I have one costume to do for someone due a week before Halloween, but it's just a wizards cloat/coat.
Adn an apron for one granddaughter, and two knitted hats for the two granddaughters.

Pauline, if I had that kind of sewing project list I'd be in a sheer panic!  I wish you the best of luck, that's sure a lot of item to get finished in less than 3 mos!  |

Angie I work at our local post office every other saturday as post mater relief and homeschool my older 2 kids I get a lot of my sewing done while going through pre-algebra,literature and history, it also helps when i spend a day (all day today) cutting out so i just need to sit and sew on quilt blocks and the skirts 2 of which are jeans that i cut off and am adding a full ruffled skirt onto so i have my pockets when i need to dress up a little. the pajamas are going to be home ec projects in the next 2 weeks the kids will be helping cut them out and sewing a pair each and i'll sew the rest of them ;D my blouses and dress will be the items shoved off into jan. if needed as i can live without them but i can't skip the holidays for the kids and friends ya know. Kathy my mom has told me 3 times today that i will be bald and still quilting at midnight christmas eve to try to get these all under the tree and she's probably half right  |

I made a really simple fleece blanket last year for my brother. He was newly divorced and lacking blankets and he wanted something for his couch. I took two pieces of fleece that were different but went together well. One was solid dark blue, and the other one was lighter blue fabric with a wolf on it. I cut a fringe around both pieces after cutting them the same size. I then just tied the fringe together. No sewing required!
Now that I think about it, I think someone talked about it on here...let me go look. Hmm, I could have swore it was here, but maybe HT.

Those fleece blankets are cute! So nice and cuddly!
I am not sewing for the holidays...but I am going to do some quilts starting next week and so forth. I finished the costumes and will start on the swap that is coming up in HT forum....I will be hostessing an Amish block swap and want to get those squares finished early! I also have a quilt I need to put on my quilting frame and get started on handquilting it! I love to quilt! SOoooo relaxing!

Pauline - that Amish quilt swap may run Nan and I crazy.... what people want, and which rules some want to bend, stretch and break! And people who don't sew wanting to do two sets> Oh MY.
All those quilts are really WOW.... I'm still working on doll stuff, and hemming t-shirts for Daughter (used new coverstitch machine). And now I've got the Amish swap to get started, washing the fabrics tonight.

WOW. You mean full quilts? Good Golly. How's it comming? I'm wondering if you've ever worked for Nike.  Can you post pictures? Not that you really have the time, but I'd like to know what the quilts look like. |
