Coin Purses and Christmas in August...

I've done a little bit of sewing today.

Made 3 coin purses...

Started on a Christmas table topper for me Mum to give a friend.  The top is done...will show it when it's all quilted and ready to go.

Sharon, of Moosecraft, my co-conspirator in the 'snow days' quilt project, and I decided that we are going to set the month of August aside to work on Christmas gifts.  Yeah...Christmas in August!  We'll work on Christmas gifts ONLY.  We figure this might give us a good start on what all we have on our lists for Christmas gift-giving. 

What this means to me is that I need to hurry up and get a few things done and out of the way within the next 2 weeks!  For instance...the doll quilt swap quilt (thank goodness I have a plan), the sunshine quilt for Doreen, and the aforementioned Christmas table topper.  I have everything I need to finish these projects up...now to just get at them.

For the rest of today, though, I am going to sit and stitch some more on my Snow Days block 5.  Would love to finish that up this week!

Speaking of this week...it is going to be very hot & very humid...I am so thankful that we have central air.  I'll be sure to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

Take care and have a good week!
