Yes, I signed up for this. Yes, I actually did some stitching. I just didn't feel like I stitched enough. My hairdresser asked if I could come in after work Friday instead of Saturday afternoon so I didn't get home until 8ish. I took a bit of time to setting down and finally sat down to "sew" on the dresden quilt. It's been my TV watching stitching lately. I am 90% done with the hand quilting - I only have like 3 more panels to go and I can bind it. But I was so pooped from the week I was only able to quilt one stinking panel for the Friday Night Sew In. So I didn't blog it yesterday because Heidi gives away such great prizes, I would have felt too guilty if I had been fortunate to win something from her giveaway. But next month, lookout! I'll be all over the FNSI.
Friday Night Sew In
Last night I played around with something I've had awhile. Miss Nadine over Apron Valley Road sent it to me in the Aunt Pitty Pat Sewing Accessories Swap. It's called the Lil' Twister. I participated in another Swap, The Charming Christmas Fabric Swap and received all these wonder charms (5x5) Christmas fabrics. Angela over at Summerfiled Quilts put on a great swap!. So I went to work putting the pieces together last night and taking the Lil' Twister to them. They are gonna be so dang adorable if I do say so myself. Just two more panels to go and I'll have 3 very fun little table mats.

Oh I'm so excited that you used the Lil' Twister! I have to admit that I got one for myself too - only I got mine MONTHS before I got the one I sent you...and I have NOT tried it out yet, LOL! But having seen your beautiful endeavor, I guess I need to dig mine out and give 'er a go ;-) Thanks for using it and getting me re-enthused about it :-) And Merry Christmas to you and hubby and the fur-kids.
