First...some "Stops"...
A sweet baby sweater for the new daughter of a cousin in Quebec, which I mentioned in my last post:

| Ain't She Sweet? |
Baby will be 1 month old on Monday of next week...so I hope it will fit. It's been over 32 years since I had such a tiny person in my arms, and this looks so-o-o-o-o-o small!
Next...those shams! In this photo, they are finished, quilted, backed, flanged...and hanging -- folded from side to side -- on my design wall. The two together, turned sideways, give the full design of a single one which means -- thank Heaven! -- they match!!

On the art front, my client picked the "birdie" piece she wanted...and this went into the mail today:

And the SJSA blocks went into the mail to California on Friday. I've taken some photos but with 7 blocks, and photos that only show part of the story...well...I will do something more about those pieces in the not-too-distant future. Suffice to say it was a very special project on which to work, and I may do a bit more for the group in the spring...
There's one more 'almost stopped' Christmas gift ...but as the recipient reads this blog, I will say no more! 😉
And now for "Starts"...
On the knitting front, second socks of pairs. And mittens -- from a pattern entitled "The World's Simplest Mittens" which, this close to Christmas I really need! (I can't seem to find my trusty olde pattern book of family sized mitts...probably lent it out...to someone...sometime...)
And to keep me focused...Clue #2 of Bonnie Hunter's "On Ringo Lake" Mystery is fully prepped:
And I even managed to put some of the flying-geese units together...though as you can see by the remaining stacks, I have more to go!

| Bottom row: finished 'geese' Top 2 rows: more unassembled parts! |
That's where everything sits for now. I'm linking this up to WIP Wednesday over on The Needle and Thread Network, and to Bonnie Hunter's MQ Link-up for Mystery Week #2.
I'll leave you with a musical memory and wish you a great rest of the week, everyone!

I’m still unpacking here in Florida. I need to go buy fabric and start the mystery quilt. Yes, I know, it is supposed to be scrappy but I don’t have scraps here. On the ‘to do’” (buy the fabric) for next week.
Gosh, Margaret!! You HAVE been a busy girl! I have been too but not being creative , alas. I HOPE to get back into the swing after Christmas but just now, I shall enjoy and marvel at all of the wonderful things YOU have been making! LOVE the baby sweater and the hungry little birds!! Happy Christmas if I am not blogging in the meantime!
