Gifts and more

My last post was on Thanksgiving??? Wow, I've been falling behind here. In my defense, I have a poor internet connection, not lasting long enough to do any real writing or posting of pictures. All the girls in the family received handmade gifts this year. I gave my mother-in-law a crocheted shawl. My baby sister got an apron that says, "With enough coffee, I can do anything." My mom and middle sister got lounge pants (from Amy Butler's In Stitches). I made a bag like this for my middle sister's sister-in-law, who has been staying with them and is really more like another little sister around here. And my nieces are awaiting their matching quilts (I wasn't able to get them quilted in time for Christmas).

Two Christmas gifts to support this sewing habit: Amy Butler's Little Stitches and a gift card for Joann Fabrics. Yeah!
