Another Finish!

Remember this quilt pattern? It's called Christmas List and the pattern is by Donna Yackey. I made this quilt top as a BOM at Bearpaws & Hollyhocks and finished the applique blocks around October or November, I think. Then the holidays started to interfere with normal life, and although I got the blocks together and the borders on, I hadn't added the appliqued gingerbread men in the corners.

Well, I've carried this quilt top around since the holidays, and in those several months, I managed to applique on two of the eight gingerbread men. Yesterday evening, I finally sat down in the Sweat Shop, got everything out that I needed, and started appliqueing. I finished around 12:30 a.m.

Isn't it funny how so many of us seem to collect these silly little unfinished projects? Since this top is now done, I can roll it up for pinning and quilting later--but not TOO much later! AND--and this is kind of exciting to me--I can FINALLY put away all the cottons and wools I had separated out for this specific project. Woo-hoo! Not only did I finish a project, but I was able to tidy away a small part of the Sweat Shop where that particular fabric lived for so long.

I really love this pattern, and I know some of you have already purchased it. If you haven't and wonder where you can find it, scroll down in my sidebar until you come to the part that says Sources for Purchasing Patterns . . . . If you click on Christmas List, it will take you to the Bearpaws & Hollyhocks website. Give them a call--if they don't have it in stock right now, they can probably order it for you pretty quickly.
