presents & meandering with thread

Janet has been working on presents -

Christmas presents!!

And I got to meander over TWO quilts for her twin nephews:

I think those little boys are going to go

rootin'-tootin' cowboy crazy

when they see their new quilts! 

(: Since they are twins, the two quilts are twin quilts,

so I've only shared one picture of a finished quilt,

but If you think the other "twin" might feel slighted, I"ll put another pic :)

Here is a close-up picture of some of the quilting:

Very cute quilts aren't 'they'?

 

Speaking of over-achievers Christmas presents...

Louise made a Christmas gift quilt for her sweetie:

Isn't it a great looking quilt?

She got it to me to quilt so she can do her binding and have it ready to wrap up early.

 

I asked them if they knew it was September.

Christmas quilts finished in September? 

What's up with that?

I'm going to have to give a good hard look at my calendar!

 

 

I'm off to check my calendar

(and maybe stitch a little, too).

How are you coming on your Christmas in September quilts?

crazy, mad

This is my bin

of Civil War reproductions - medium to dark fabrics,

under half yard pieces...

Yes, it's time to get a larger bin, I think.

Anyway, am I crazy-mad

in my collection of fabrics???

Or is everyone like this?

(And this is only 

the medium to dark, under half-yard cuts.)

I pulled the bin out to work on my Lucy Boston,

Patchwork of the Crosses blocks. 

That's when it came to me -

crazy, mad!!!

Way too much fabric!

Issues,

I have issues. 

But lovin' my fabrics!

Do you have the same 'crazy-mad' problem 

"collecting"  fabrics as I?
