RELAXING BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS

Do you find sewing relaxes you?  I've been relaxing before the busy holidays, and I do that by hand sewing applique.  These patterns are from  the book Whimsical Wool Applique by Kim Schaefer.  You can get it at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  

 This is a closeup of the two I did this week. 

I'm not showing the third one because I showed a picture of it here.  So tell us, what relaxes you?  Are you ready for the holidays?  Have you started gift making?  Can you give us some ideas?  I made two wide open zipper pouches from a pattern by Noodlehead.  Except I did a really dumb thing and put one side of the lining in backwards.  Oh, my, goodness.  Maybe I'll show them later.  

It's a busy week this week at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Check out all the activities below.  You won't want to miss anything.
