First one is done. Woo Hoo

Don't you love it. I do. For not knowing what I was doing when I started out, I think it came out pretty nice. I have two more to complete now. My neighbor is very pleased with its outcome.

Here is # 1






                                                                                                                                                                       

So with all three completed. the daughters will get an opportunity to choose which one they want to use under their tree. The one in the middle was the original one that I made the initial pattern for the others. 
I really enjoyed making these and from what I understand all the daughters loved
the ones that they chose for their special traditional Christmas tree 
skirt,
Merry Christmas to all the Edmonson Daughters.

Trip on Sidewalk makes a Trip to the ER

Well  looks like I won't be doing much sewing for the next few days. Fortunately, nothing got broken. I tripped on our sidewalk in front of the front door with a hose in my hand wide open. My toe of my sandel caught the edge of the sidewalk and down I went.  I have had surgery on both of my wrists so they don't bend very well so when I started to fall I tried to catch myself but just ended up hyperextending my fingers and hand  and wrist on my right hand. Going to be sore for a few days but no 
BREAKS ! ! ! That is the best news. I have too much to get done.
Well, I will be off for a couple of days. Get back with you soon.
Have a great week. Hope yours starts better than mine.

Update on Christmas Tree Skirt


Well, I have been busy and I think I like the outcome so far. I have
the major part of the skirt pieced together and I am working on 
getting it all put together. I need to add the batting and backing and then I will start doing the quilting. I have three to do so I may just do this my machine. I usually do all my quilting by hand but this is a time crunch project.  I also plan on adding a light cream colored ruffle along the bottom. Okay here is where it stands so far. Still a WIP.




It's hard to see the white against the white background but there is 3 white strips too. Didn't have enough for 4 but it worked out okay. 
Next update will be when its all done.  What do you think?
