Catching up on Wednesday

The comments are now CLOSED for the 600th post giveaway.

 I thought I would be able to announce winners today but I have to finish reading comments.

Never fear I will be announcing winners soon !!!

And since a post couldn't ever be without a picture......

 I spent last weekend working on WIPs. 

I have so many WIPs that I really don't know how many I have. 

I just really want to get a grip on them.

This quilt made with a Creative Grids 60 degree ruler and "Darla" by Tanya Whelan. 

I am slowly stitching several quilts..wish I could focus on just one but lately I am jumping around a lot.

 Ever have weeks or months like that?

 I am pretty much into the "months" of jumping projects.

Eventually I will get a grip LOL.

Christmas in October?

I couldn't resist. When I saw Ariane's tutorial for a  festive santa runner,
I immediately checked my Go! cutter stash for the triangle die. I had it! Turns out my office staff gave it to me for Christmas last year.   They picked a great die!
As well, Ariane includes instructions for this project without using a Go! so that's awesome too.

The tutorial for this cute Christmas table runner was featured during the Go! blog hop.  I started to cut it out from my left over fabric from the Peppermint Path quilt I am making. I carefully cut the triangles to get the most of my scraps.

I pieced the runner and now I just have to add the appliques.

I am well on my way, this might just get finished before Christmas, LOL.

p.s. don't forget to enter the 600th post giveaway HERE :)
