How to get into trouble quickly....

I just do not know where November went.  And now December is nearly one-third gone.  With trying to get Christmas quilting done and shopping there just is not enough time in the day.

Members of our guild went to the Day of Sharing in Greenville today.  The ladies there are so gracious and the food and fellowship were superb.  Afterword we had to head to JoAnn;s as it is the closest one to a lot of our members.  No matter how many times you tell yourself that you don't care how cute that fabric is you don't need any you still walk out of there with more fabric.  I can't help that the fleece was on sale and in a beautiful Christmas pattern.  I got a yard to give to a friend who has an older lab named Sadie who is having hip problems.  I hope it will keep her warm. 
Not that you would need a blanket today in Eastern North Carolina.  Sometimes I just don't know what to wear if I am going to be gone all day.

Here is my cecil with his blue mouse mouse.  I have had to put mousemouse in pre-op so many times until he could have surgery.  Cecil doesn't tear up his toys but he loves to mash the squeaker and this wears holes in them.  This one is 5 or 6 years old.  Cecil is also in MY chair.

Here is where the trouble comes:







The first picture is of 130 four-patches for Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt.  I know- I still have 62 more to make!!!
Then came the flying geese.  I usually make them with a large square and smaller squares but as I had cut 2" strips and was dying to learn to use the companion ruler and angle ruler here I went.  Well they are all made and I have cut out everything for the 3rd step using purple, black and white and turquoise.  I have heard so much about BH quilts and wanted to try one.  Also the colors in this one are my favorites.  Maybe I will have enough sense left when I finish to drive to the quilters.
I have to do all the trimming of ears etc but at least I am on the way.
Merry quilting
Sally
