This has not been a time for quilting; it's been a time for thanksgiving! I am so thankful for my family and I did see most of them on Thanksgiving Day, we ate and talked and enjoyed each other's company on that day, and promised we'd get together like this more often - not just on holidays. Christmas is coming and we will meet and talk and eat and visit again.
The only quilting I've done is to finish layering and binding the "houses quilt." I still would like to do something special in the 'vacant lots' and can't quite decide what. I tried a sashiko roof outline and had LOTS of trouble getting the sashiko needle through the layers. I might try a smaller sharper needle with embroidery floss. Or machine-quilt the outline with contrasting thread. Indecision!
I am more concerned at this time of year to finish recent projects, and to decide about Christmas gifts, quilting and otherwise. After Christmas I will be able to look at my UFOs and more recently begun projects and make decisions and actually SEW.
