Christmas Presents

Well it is that time of year again where everyone is just so busy with decorating, Christmas shopping, wrapping, sending out Christmas cards, holiday programs and parties.  Sometimes I feel like the holiday season is such a blur and I am a robot just going through the motions.  I am trying really hard this year though to enjoy this holiday season because my kids are 6 and 2 and they are just growing up too fast.  My oldest just lost her first tooth!  Which means I haven't actually done much quilting or sewing these past couple of weeks.  However, I did decide to sew up these super cute gift bags though.  Aren't they just adorable?

I used this tutorial from Amy at Positively Splendid, which you can find here.  They really are pretty easy to make.  I made the smallest size, which fit gift cards and candy goodies perfectly.

I was also super exited because I finally received this book in the mail!  I was so excited to get it.  It is a signed copy of Quilting Wide Open Spaces by Judi Madsen, which you can purchase here.  There are a few designs of hers that I would love to quilt up and this book tells you how to do just that.

I also wanted to take the time to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  I can't wait to see what 2014 brings!  See you then!

Happy Quilting!
