One down, three to go!

First Christmas quilt is done and off the frame!  It's completely finished, except for the binding and a wash.



The second one is on the frame, and has a good start.



















The quilting frame is in my bedroom, right next to my grandson's crib (I really need to move that soon) so I am limited to being able to quilt when he's visiting his mom or when someone (usually hubby) is watching him.  If I can move the crib soon I might be able to get away with quilting during his naps as well.  The sooner I get the Christmas quilts done, the sooner I can work on other quilts that need finishing.  We've had custody of the grandson for a little over a year, and I'm just now starting to feel like I can be a little more productive - or maybe that's the busy, busy Christmas season pushing me on.

I've been working on something else on the Bernina at the kitchen table as well.  I can work there when he's watching videos on my iPad, usually when he's eating.  (He likes Thomas the train, and Blue's Clues, on Amazon Prime.)  I finished the borders, including the "piano key" border", for the Bear's Paw Sampler quilt.  This one has been in progress since late 2012.  It's now ready for sandwich  (backing and batting) and quilting, after the Christmas quilts are finished.



In the meantime, I'll be working on trying to finish Susan's Folly at the kitchen table.  This one needs four separate borders, including one made up of 624 (!) 1-1/2" squares.
