I'm still alive here at Red Quilts!!  Although, you wouldn't know it by my lack of blogging :(  The shop has been so very busy this past week and I've been too exhausted in the evenings to even put a coherent thought together.  I did get a few sewing hours in on Wednesday and did some hired sewing.  

 A pair of moose theme pillowcases.  Someone will have happy hunting dreams! LOL!
And two "Let It Snow" wallhangings.  The outside words had to be hand embroidered.  I love embroidering!

Winter has arrived with a flourish in our part of the world!  And, no, that's not my house you see but it is for sale and I would love to have a quilter move in!
 On the weekend, it came to me that I hadn't worked on any Bunny Hill blocks lately and come to find out, I was  two months behind!  Bad me!  But, I am caught up now and eagerly waiting for Dec 5 for the last block.  I have my other fabrics picked out and need to start making the setting together blocks for what is going to be the sweetest snowman quilt ever!

 And....since we have snow....and it was that packy, snowman making snow...I decided it was high time to hang up some no-melt snowmen!  This is Leftie and Rightie...a pattern that has been out for a while but is still golden!  My plan is show my collection of snowmen all thru Dec and January. 
So, I'm off to the sewing room to get some prep work done for a mystery class that I am taking tomorrow with Margie Grieve, teacher extraordinaire :)  I am so excited because I LOVE mystery classes!  I signed and paid for this one back in August! so that shows you how much I wanted to take this class!  And it will be a riot of fun!  Hope your day is a Happy Stitcher Day!
