Red Truck/wreath panel
This panel grabbed my eye a couple years ago, I made it up and sold it right away. I went on the hunt and found another one. And then it seems several other panels made it into the lineup to get finished first. In looking through my holiday panel stash a couple weeks ago this one finally made it to the top for piecing!

Hexagon snowman toppers
There was a need to replenish some of these snowman toppers for my Etsy shop this past week. I had the parts cut for this one and the snowflakes were stenciled already so it was quick to put together and quilt it.

A little of everything
Happy Monday to you all! This past week I dug into my Christmas panel bin and decided this one was next to get perked up a bit. Here is how it looked after I squared and trimmed it up.
All fabrics came from the stash.

Snowman and a Red Truck
Here comes Frosty the Snowman checking out this red truck. Yet another panel is finished and on the market for it's forever home.
I still have a few winter/holiday panels I would like to get made. However, this past week has been a bit of a struggle. Nine days ago I woke up with pain shooting down my right leg. Went to the Chiropractor the next day, he says sciatica. That is what I figured after researching a bit online. Two days later it was so bad I could hardly walk across the house. I got into the Dr. the next day and he says pinched nerve, gave me a muscle relaxer and says take Naproxen and ice and heat and give it two weeks. Yikes that is a long time when it hurts so bad it takes your breath away at times. Have any of you had either of these, if so what did you find that helped? It's hard some nights to get comfy to sleep. So not as much quilting has gotten done or anything else for that matter.
Hope all is well with all of you! We have our two kids, spouses and three grands coming this weekend to have our Thanksgiving. Looking forward to seeing them all.

Snowman, Feathered Friends and a Fall Finish
This panel is larger than my normal ones I have worked with. And it was so much fun figuring out a little different look with the borders. Isn't he cute with his feathered friends keeping him company.
I mentioned this being a larger panel, the finished wall hanging measures 47.5"x 55" so it could essentially be a small lap quilt. I managed to get photos of it on Friday, got it listed and it was sold in fifteen minutes!!!!! My New York customer says she is going to use it as a bed topper. She will have a festive looking bed! I quickly ordered more of the black fabric as I do have another of this panel.
I'll soon have another one to show you, check back on Wednesday!
And now for the Fall Finish... and it's all for me!! This was stitched either last fall or 2 falls ago. And there it sat for inspiration to hit for the finish. Over the weekend I took a few minutes to layer it with a backing, stitch around it, turn it inside out and stuff it. I bought 5/8 of a yard of gold cord at JoAnns and hot glued it around the edge. Hot glue might not have been the ideal way to attach it, but hey it worked and I have a finished project! But the cord really made the difference I think.
