Camera bag

Goodness! As far as I can tell, there are no tutorials for making a camera bag for a compact mirrorless camera. Lots for a giant camera like my husband has, and lots for a padded pouch for the phone-shaped little cameras, but none for mine, small but with a protruding lens, as seen below. Looks like I'll have to make one myself - and try to get my act together to make a tutorial!

End of the nap!

80 triangles cut, sewn, and pressed before the end of naptime. I call that a productive session!

Bias?

The instructions suggest this method, which I've seen before - intriguing and easy, but I'm a bit wary of the bias edges coming my way!

Windy days

Finally getting started on my windy days quilt! Decided a little boy needs a dark background on his quilt rather than white, so have just cut navy squares - pinwheels coming up!

T- 16 hours

Hand quilting complete, machine in the ditch to finish it, then binding... think I'll have it done by the morning?

When you have a kid, you start using different things as pattern weights!

Winners!

The winner of the pacifier/toy holder is #43, lefty.rollins, who said, "Thanks for this giveaway! While my baby girl doesn't use a pacifier, she does like to drop her toys all the time. This would be great!"

And the winner of the knitting books is #45, Nicole Sender, who's wishing for a Kindle Fire for Christmas!

I loved hearing everyone's Christmas wishes - my favorite was the person wishing for eyebrows to grow back.  Wish I knew the story there!

Thanks for playing :)
