It's been a while...

I was horrified when I realized that I have not blogged in nearly a month! I will make up for that over the next few days. Don't worry, I've been busily quilting, but I haven't completely finished much (I can complete a quilt in less than a week, but I just can't seem to get the binding tacked down on the back...). I have two baby quilts waiting for that last step and another smaller quilt waiting to be quilted (that's on the docket for Tuesday evening).

Friday night, I got to do my first quilting of the year with new Christmas fabric!! I realized Friday afternoon that I needed to put something together, as a just in case I need it kind of thing, for our family reunion on Saturday. So I ran to my LQS and got a charm pack of Deb Strain's new Christmas line, Nature's Gift. The fabric features cardinals and chickadees, my mom's favorite birds. I used the City Windows pattern from Moda Bake Shop.  I love how it turned out.
