Two down, one more to go....

I've been hand-sewing the binding on this quilt for months. I did a couple of inches every weekend watching football games. Guess I made the stitches too small. Anyway... this one is completed. It's for my husband's sister. We will spend Christmas day with them. I'll give it to her then.   I love this quilt. It's hard giving this one away. Of course, I do have enough fabric left-over to make one for me.The pattern is from McCall's Quilting magazine June 2005. The original quilt name is Star Light. My regular quilt holder is still sleeping. Rusty said, me hold the quilt? 

I need to machine sew the binding on my neice's quilt. My work was so poor yesterday morning that I put it aside. Decided I'd better wait until later today so I would do a better job. 

The tote bag pattern is a design by Penny Sturges. It is called Charm Party Tote. I gave it to Kathy last night. She was speechless for a little bit. That's always a good sign :)  

One down, two more to go...

Christmas gifts to finish, that is.  I'm just plain disorganized this Christmas. I can't seem to get motivated about the holidays.  This tote bag is for my dear friend Kathy,  who values homemade presents. I used a charm pack from the Peace On Earth fabric line by Moda. The lining is yardage from my stash. I think it's Chocolat by Moda.  The bag had to be finished and wrapped for tonight. Completed. Done. Check another one off.
