I just finished up the last stitch in Christmas Lights. This was a mystery quilt by Bonnie Hunter published in three consecutive issues of Quiltmaker magazine last year. I've had the top and back done for quite a while, but was saving it for the HQ 16. I am planning on giving it to my sister for Christmas and am quite pleased at how it turned out. I will resist the urge to point out all the mistakes when I give it to her, though I can see them all of course.
We took the kids to see Toy Story 3 this morning. It is rare for Kurt to want to come to a movie with us, but he is quite sentimental and enjoyed it very much. We all had lunch together after that before driving Anna to Girl Scout Camp. I took along my quilt and got most of the binding finished up during the drive there and back. I don't have any more binding machine stitched and ready for handwork, so that may be my project for tonight. I think there are still two more in the pile waiting for edges and I'd very much like to add them to the finished list. I like the growing list in the sidebar, it makes me smile.

Glad you had some time to finish up Christmas Lights! So, what's next on the list???? Those other two (or three?) should be checked off in no time :0)
The quilt looks great, but quite an intricate pattern to piece I should think. Aren't we hard on ourselves, seeing all the mistakes in things? I can't manage to do any sewing in the car as it makes me queasy, so I knit instead. I hate sewing all the bits together when I've knitted them though, so I've got a couple of jumpers finished but not yet sewn together.
The quilt is lovely! It turned out great!
