Holiday wishes

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Ours was wonderful and relaxing and there was some time to sew!

First, a finish -

I made this mini using this free paper piecing pattern. I fussy cut the geese so that each of the 12 Days of Christmas are front and center.

Once this mini was done, I was ready to start a smaller project so found a whole box of scraps and starting creating mittens!

This fabric is from a Kate Spain line from a few years ago. I won a giveaway on her blog and the prize was a 20 lb (yes!) bag of fabric scraps. I used some of them right away and then spent time this weekend(finally) cutting them into pieces good for the mitten block or just some 2 1/2 '' strips. Gonna have some fun!

Finally, did you take advantage of any Black Friday fabric shopping? I know I managed to add some things to my stash - some AMB solids in yummy colors. Can't wait for them to arrive.

There are a bunch of Cyber Monday sales out there and I wanted to pass on the deal from one of my sponsors - Fat Quarter Shop sale on precuts runs through Tuesday, December 1 (midnight)!

Making my min quilt Holiday Wishes was part of a monthly sewalong called Mini Quilt and More hosted by Sherri from A Quilting Life and Michele of Island Life Quilts . There will be a parade of minis next week so I'll perhaps be inspired with other fabric combinations. Finishing this mini was also my November goal for ALYOF. (Goal post here.)
