Crafter's Challenge December 10th---December 16th, 2023

[Lana]

Month half over and another year is all but gone.

Love hearing and seeing the projects that you all are working on!

What are you doing this week?

Happy Crafting!!!

Still working on the socks. Just the leg section to finish.
Our children and their families will be here next Sunday-17th for our family Christmas so I have lots to do to get ready for it.

I finished DD’s doily.

I've got 3 coasters done and one more to do. Easy pattern, if I remember how to do the particular bobble stitch they use. I can always watch the video that accompanied the pattern. And, I have a little more yarn left to finish DD's scarf. If push comes to shove, I can always finish it off at the end of the row and be done with it, as it's long enough. But I'd rather not have a small pile of yarn left over that I won't use for anything else. Already thinking ahead to my January project -- a shawl kit I picked up at the August "yarn crawl" and haven't started.

Got dizzy getting groceries out of the car so no rotary cutter work for me today. Hopefully Ill be better after the chiropractor and can keep working on that quilt.

I am not 100% happy with the edge on the face washer. I might undo it and think of something else.

Nothing being made by me but DD made this coaster to give her brother with a caribou mug. It is made with plastic canvas and yarn.

Greetings!

Love seeing the pics!

Rose ~ That's an early Christmas! I'm glad ours will be late this year.

I keep plugging away at the UFO BOM quilt. I keep thinking I'm so close to finishing it, but there's always one more thing ... I had to do some frogging, and I'm just a little past where I had to take it out. One more block to quilt, add that row to the others, quilt down the sashings (decorative stitch on my domestic machine), bind, DONE!

And I still need to make the cuddle throw for Sonja, but we're not going to have our Christmas with them till Sunday after Christmas (the 6th Day of Christmas, I believe). I hope I don't leave it so long that I feel rushed though.

DJ It does seem early but as the Sunday before Christmas is Christmas Eve we had to move it up a week. Our yDD does her family Christmas dinner Christmas Eve as on Noon Christmas Day her children are off to their dad’s/grandparents for Christmas and spends a good week there.

Everybody has to have their turns------makes it hard and rushed at times!

Diedra, I love everything about this photo. The look of concentration, the mug that says 'naughty' and that enormous grinch in the back ground. Wishing Vanessa a great Christmas.

 

[Rose94]

socks are done. Anything else made this year will be for fun (me) or a start on next year.

 

[DahliaDoll]

Rose ~ You always finish so early! Good job!

I only have a couple of quick things to finish up but keep putting them off. Instead, I finished a table topper/runner which is something for myself. It didn't take long to finish (just needed binding), and I wanted something to take for show-and-tell at Stitched Together tomorrow.

Loving the Missouri Star Quilt Christmas box this year! It is my 3rd year. I can't the people that get items done up in 2 or so days after opening item.

 

[Lori K]

So DD informed me that she's going to miss crochet class tomorrow ... so that means that I can finish her scarf while at class!!! Yay!!!! I have not had any time to work on it this week, so I'll enjoy having uninterrupted time to complete it. Will post a pic once it's done.

I'd love to see what you've received!

Is it a quilt where you get a section to sew together each day and at the end of the countdown you sew the sections together to make a quilt or some other type that f box?
There is a quilt shop here in my province that does that kind of count down.

 

[Lana]

After all is opened I will try to post a picture. If I can get it to post!

 

[Myron's Mom]

Almost finished cutting out the other 1/2 of the quilt.
Still waiting on the rest of my fabric order. Sent them an email letting them know, they never responded. Thank goodness my cousin has a sense of humor.

No, it is a box of different sewing items. Such has patterns, charm packs, silicone iron mat, set of 4 saucers with quilt designs, etc.. This is the 3rd year I have gotten the box. Must say each year is better. In past have gotten the metal water cups with sewing information on it, jars of buttons, etc. The wrapping paper used for packaging is pretty. Some people have used it to put in their phone case for a Christmas design.
