Feeling the Christmas Pressure

Lately I have been stealing quick moments to sew here and there.  Since I last checked in I have finished the last of my blocks for my Farm Girl Sampler.  

 Hand Mixer

Penny Pig

  And finally, Corn and Tomatoes.  

If this block hadn't been my last, I would have quit this project.  Seriously 94 itty bitty pieces go into this 6.5" block.  It took me days of cutting because I just couldn't stand to cut such small pieces for very long.  And sewing it took me awhile.  I had to take breaks, because I felt cussing and screaming coming on.  
I still have the sashing and setting stones to cut out, but I wanted to set it aside for a minute.

I felt the pressure to get the two tops I had waiting, basted.
So one night after the monster went to bed I got the floor mopped and went to work. 


 My Hello Darling quilt really is beautiful.  
I cannot wait to get it finished.  
I think it will be out on the sofa this Christmas Season to cuddle up with.




 But first I want to get the Monster's Christmas gift done.  
I'm in the thick of quilting it now.  
I need a good stretch of time and motivation.
After these two are quilted I might put the Farm Girl away so I can FINALLY pull out my Blitzen and get it made!
