-crunch time!-

I don't think I need say more than "stomach flu" for you all to understand what kind of week this has been.  Throw in some random colds and rashes, and I am very ready for something better to happen!  The week wasn't all bad though.  Sukie hosted a Secret Santa Swap over on Twitter, and I got my package the other day from Kate over at Needle and Spatula!  She really spoiled me.  The book is awesome!  I wanted to immediately go to my scrap bin and start putting something together.  She also made me a cute little needle book and zip pouch.  Plus, homemade caramels!  I never make candy, so I was super impressed!

It is getting down to crunch time for Christmas gifts.  I purposely did not put much on my list and thank goodness I didn't.  I cut out a couple of zip clutches yesterday to make to put in gift cards for teachers and the husband's secretary.  

The only big thing on my list is finishing this quilt.  I am showing this one off at the modern quilt guild meeting back in October.  I just need to add a couple of borders, and I would really like to get this sent off to it's rightful owners.  How is your list looking?  Are you ready?

Also, AnneMarie over at Gen X Quilters was kind enough to feature me today on her blog, so go check it out!  I got to meet her at The Sewing Summit, and as she said we bonded over our pregnancies.  She is super sweet, and it was fun to get to chat with her a bit!
