Our refrigerator was delivered so we will have roast turkey this weekend. A little late, but yummy just the same. I am in between projects. I'm getting my red and white quilt back from being basted this week. Hand quilting will start on it immediately. New strike offs will be delivered too - for our next collection that will show next spring. So - that awkward in between project phase happened and you KNOW I cannot sit without some stitching in my hands.....so this was born.
I dug into my prized box of Japanese taupe fabric bits and pieces. With the help of some purse hardware and a stack of Yoko Saito books - I made myself a bag. As I mentioned on Instagram, it would make a lovely evening bag - if I ever ventured out socially in the evening, that is. :) It will probably live as a stitching bag - holding bits of fabric, thread and needles when I stitch on the road.

This, 5 red and white quilts on the walls, and some stockings are it for Christmas decorating. I have bins and bins of Christmas stuff in storage, but my tolerance for clutter gets weakened every year. Soon, you can expect the quilts, a candle, and sprig of holly as the entirety of holiday decorating around here.
Laters,
Laurie
