December? Really?

I'm in total denial that 2012 is nearly over. November flew past for me - but I did manage to get a reasonable amount done this month. 

My big finishes were Emma's quilt:


And my Spinning Canoes cushion (despite the size this one took a loooong time to make. It was total insanity to paper piece sixty four 3" blocks).


And a shed load of blocks - some for bees, some as part of the How Far Will You Go? QAL I'm co-hosting (and am very behind on - tomorrow will hopefully see me caught up ;o) ) 


So all in all quite a productive month. December is already looking incredibly busy between teacher gifts, bee blocks and QAL catching up. And whatever else I start making (inevitable really, with my inability to stay on task ;o) ). 

I'm linking up with Fresh Sewing Day at Lily's Quilts (button on sidebar) - one of my favorite linky parties (probably because it's the one through which I have met so many wonderful bloggy friends!)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

    Oh, I love your cushion so much. It actually inspired me to make up my own tippecanoe based star, for a cushion for my brother. I think you did a fabulous job on Emma's quilt as well - I HATE unpicking, so I'm impressed that you went to the effort of unpicking FMQ.

    Those are two really beautiful makes! Especially love the cushion, even if you must be a bit crackers to do it... ;-)

    so, I've been stalking the postman but the chicopee cushion still hasn't arrived. It's very strange. Perhaps you should make another one and send that, just in case.

    I love Emma's quilt! It is so beautiful, as are all the blocks. That pillow is the best, I may well have to copy you as that is one of my favourite blocks.
