My Date with Keith

My cutting is complete for the Half Pint Quilt Along, or as I like to call it the Half Pint Quilt Behind. So this evening and tomorrow I will sew these together and square them up. Keith will be my date for part of that. I have his new CD that I have not listened to, so he can serenade me as I sew.

My projects for November CGQC are going to be more realistic as I also have to design and make my Christmas cards this month. So, my projects will be

• catching up on the Half Pint Quilt Along/Behind
• squaring up the blocks for my Schnibbles pattern that I have been working on for what seems like the last 5 years
• completing the 2 mini wall hangings so that I can hang them for Christmas when Tony has the painting done

These are more realistic goals and give me some space/time to get ready for Christmas. With Tony not working this will be a very different Christmas, as we went away as a family last year. This year will be close to home, and I will be trying to figure out what gifts I can make for my family. I usually do try to make some gifts, but I will not be buying anything to make these gifts. So the next few weeks will also be spent searching for ideas. I am not complaining as we do have so much to be thankful for and I am grateful for that.
