Some years ago I made a fall applique leaf quilt that hangs in my sister Sarah's front hall. She's been asking me for a little Christmas wall quilt since just about a week after I gave her the first one, which was.. gasp! ... probably 5 years ago. So this weekend, I FINALLY made her up one. Just a simple freehand cut raw edge applique that was quilted on the sewing machine. These will not be washed much so the edges probably won't even fray much.

Each little quilt is about 8" x 10". There is a hidden ribbon hanger on the top one and a set of ribbons hold them together. All made from scraps, too! They are both self-bound. Total time was about an hour from start to finish.

Right now, I am making up one of my micro-messenger bags for my other sister, Kim and one for my Nana as well, plus two Christmas stockings and several sets of oven mitts and microwave mitts. I guess the sewing damn is good and broken!
