Make-A-List Monday - And The Holidays Begin!

Hi, all!

Can you believe it's almost Thanksgiving?  How this year has flown by!  And today marks just one more month until Christmas.  That means it's time to kick into overdrive, all while enjoying the season at the same time.  Trust me, it can be done - it just sounds hard!  

So let's see how last week's list went...

1.  Work on the commission baby quilt.
It's still not finished, but the top is!  I had a hiccup when I looked at the photo I took when I first finished it, and saw a mistake, but it has been reworked so now it is perfect!

2.  Prep for a class on Friday.
All prepped, and the class went great! My friend Vicky, who had never even sat down at a sewing machine before, made this beautiful pillow cover. She did great for a first-time sewer!

3.  Keep working on my snowflake quilt.
Unfortunately, with the repair work on the pinwheel quilt, I didn't get to work on this at all.

4.  Make a class sample.
Done, but of course I forgot to take a picture of it before I took it to the store to be put on display!  But it's really cute - a burrito-style pillowcase with a ruffled flange!

5.  Quilt one of the annual quilts.
Nathanael's penguin quilt is now finished, except for the label!  One down, two to go!

6.  Keep up with any quilt ministry needs that come up.

A quiet week - no quilts were given away!  We are working on a stash of quilts to have on hand over the holiday season as requests come in.  

So all in all, a good week!  I also discovered the wonder of chaffles (cheese/egg waffles) which are keto friendly and a wonderful substitute for bread.  I've made two different recipes, a basic chaffle (good for breakfast sandwiches), and a jalapeño popper chaffles, which was amazing with chili!

This week my husband is taking some vacation days, so my schedule be a little more disjointed - but hubby home means going to movies and doing some honey-do's, too!  So here's what's on my plate for this week....

1.  Finish the baby quilt.

2.  Make a matching pillow.

3.  Hit Joann's Black Friday sale for some batting.

4.  Hem some jeans for my husband.

5.  Cook cook cook for Thanksgiving.

6.  Hem up some curtains.

7.  Quilt one of the annual quilts.

8.  Start decorating the house for Christmas.

9.  Keep up with any quilt ministry needs that come up.

So a busy week ahead of me, for sure!  But at least I won't have time to get in any trouble, right?

And now the question is - - - what are YOU working on this week?

Hugs!
