Tackle It Tuesday - Countdown to Christmas

posted in sewing |

Tackle It Tuesday Meme
I really have no idea why this project is taking me so dang long, but it is. I had planned on finishing this last week, but just didn’t get it done.
Countdown Till Christmas
This is my Countdown to Christmas project, designed by Nancy Halverson. I have been working on it for several weeks and hope to finish it this week, for sure! I must admit, I did create 4 tote bags during the last few weeks as well and had to set this project aside while I was doing that.

Last week I managed to get all but one of the hanging loops sewn onto each individual block, I was one short and need to make that loop. I also have the backs sewn on all but 5 of the 13 blocks. So, once I make the last loop, I can get it sewn on and finish sewing the backs on the remaining blocks. Finally, I’ll be able to quilt around all of the applique and these will be done, just in time to begin counting down the days until Christmas.

So, if you don’t see me here, you’ll know I’m at my sewing machine. :-D

    I hope you get your project done! I know how that is. Every year I say I’m going to make some things for gifts for people and I usually wait to the last minute to even start them! :)

    An excellent project, although probably a little too ambitious for me with the time left.
    Best wishes

    I enjoyed viewing your N.H. work. I too am working on two of her projects: My True Love and I just now forgot the name of the other one but similar.
