A Figgy Pudding Weekend

The Bus valance project is in limbo since I’m waiting on extra cording..  soooo I figure it’s good time to finish up some xmas projects.  Like the Figgy Pudding xmas tree skirt.   Yep it’s been hanging here waiting on M.E.  I’m the plug — as usual.

The WIPs are out of control at Lucy’s place so I did what most  procrastinators do. 

I started another one.   gulp

I can’t help myself.  It’s a sickness.   I saw a finished one of these Stick Santas at the quilt store and it was instant love. 

How could I resist?  I couldn’t.  And obviously didn’t.  Now I just need to make another section like this one and put it all together. 

The kit comes with the cardboard tube and all the accessories inside.  The fuseable grid is a separate purchase.  You can buy the kit here.   The did buy the grid too, however, I didn’t follow the grid lines - I just placed my squares one on top of the other and pressed one or two rows at a time.  It was easier to keep it straight - imo.   So you can probably save money just buying a piece of this iron on stuff at JoAnns…

Here’s hoping I have a good Figgy Pudding weekend and I have no more distractions.  Like the other one I created last Tuesday.

A trip to the antique store. 

I bought another jar for my threads.  $4.  Since I’m behind on my projects - thread usage is down.  Not really an antique, but it spoke to me.  Like lots of stuff does.  Especially things with $$ signs.

Oh my goodness, he is just too adorable! I am so in love with the Figgy Pudding line! I think it is one of my favorite lines ever! Have you seen the "Have a Sheri Berry Holiday" by Sheri Berry for Northcott Fabrics? I love it too! Very retro and the colors are not your typical Christmas colors! Very fun!

Your projects look like so much fun, Lucy. I can't wait to have the time to try some things like this. I have put in my retirement notice, and my last day will be 12/31/09. I'm counting the days!

I know Julia -- -- Figgy Pudding is like this year's Chocolat to me. I loved that line. I have not seen Sheri Berry -- I must take a look at that.

I'm so happy for you Ali -- what a way to end the year! In just a few more months you'll be lounging at Ortona.

Thanks Cathy -- I'm semi-ahead. Finishing a few more would be helpful -- lol.
