Checking It Twice

It’s been a little while since I checked off things from my Making Christmas/December list! My machine was misbehaving badly, for the past 3 weeks and went in for a service last week. This made a serious dent in my productive-ability, and has pushed some things off the list. It’s only just come back so I’m knuckling down today to get the important things ticked off the list!

Totoro quilt – Done!

Commission quit and nursery set – Done! And sent. I’ll be sharing it all later this week.

I Am Ninja baby quilt – Pattern’s all sketched out, roughly. Collected a bit more fabric to add to it, thanks Lara! Gotta get a move on that as there’s only a month or so to go!

Wombat Stew Secret Santa – My original big present is on track now, but thanks to the machine issues, no time to make anything smaller *sad face*

Bees & BOMs – I’m late for two November blocks that didn’t get done before the Great Machine Meltdown, but I have them all ready to sew up and December’s too.

Swap item – I’m doing a personal swap with Kat, and I’m wanting to have it done by the end of December.

Kate Spain Christmas project – Not going to happen now.

Bee Quilt – Not going to happen now, but will be made in time to send to Kenya with my Lala Salama quilt after having been so touched to see my other quilts in use for premmie twins! They need it more than my daughter does.

Double Wedding Ring Challenge – Not going to happen. Still only 1/4 pieced, clearly missed the challenge deadline, but I’m ok with that as I’d rather make this slowly and get it done to my satisfaction than have rushed it and not been happy with it. It’s now my “selfish sewing” project, and a good start on my 2014 goal of Just Create.
