All Done!!!

YAY!!

I am all done with sewing Christmas gifts.

I feel very good about everything I made.  

And, I made all gifts except

the 2 gift cards I bought for my grandsons.

I never did get around to making

any hot pads/potholders, though.

I guess I can work on them at my leisure

and give them as gifts throughout the year...

or save them for next Christmas!  

Here are the last of the napkins...

Here is a photo of some of what I made.

When I took this photo, I had already mailed

out some gifts, and was not finished making others. 

Here are the stats:

97 napkins

6 aprons

22 kleenex cozies

1 zippered pouch

1 sweatshirt jacket

All fabric used came from my stash

except for 1.5 yards for napkins

and 1/2 yard for sweatshirt jacket facings.

I used 24 yards of fabric for napkins, 

4 yards for aprons and

mostly scraps for kleenex cozies.

I generated a few more scraps

for myself in the process.

That is a lot of fabric!

And, truth be told...not all of the napkins

are going out as Christmas gifts.

I may have overdone it a bit.

Or not.

I was just so happy sewing

and listening to music

that I made napkins out of any fabric

that I either had no immediate use for,

or just plain thought

would make great napkins!

Truth be told,

there are some sets that

I am going to keep for myself!

How's that!?!

And, what this means...

is that I have the next week

to do whatever I want!

Like, finish one quilt top

and start another!

I need to find a way to baste some quilts...

don't want to move all those flimsies with me.

Thank you, God,

for giving me the ability

(and fabric!) to do this.

Amen.
