Since Friday was a state Inservice Day for teachers, I got a 3 day weekend! That meant I could get things done AND do some sewing. It didn't hurt that John was off on a "Boy's Weekend" up in the woods. Jammies and Cheerios..... and sewing!
Last weekend, I managed to knock out 5 pillowcases for gifts. Here they are all lined up ready for Christmas. Savanah, Delia, Madison, Emily and Robert......

I also made 2 Christmas runners - one turned out OK - it was a light green stripe that didn't turn out quite like I thought it would. The second was this ADORABLE print with gingerbread people and candy. You can see the details in this photo.As if this wasn't enough, I also went clothes shopping and now have 4 pairs of pants to hem (the joys of being shorter than average). Have two done and two to go.....
Now, if I could just finish quilts at this speed!!!!!
