19th finish for 2021
Yeah rah! I got the pastel flannel quilt done! It's the same size as the dark flannel quilt.
I then started on another Xmas gift. I was given a bag of ties to make a pillow out of. There were plenty to make three small pillows, but for now I am making two. I first laid out these on a base, but wasn't thrilled with the look.
So then I changed them around and like this better.
The other colorway was the gray ties. Here I have them attached to the base using an embroidery stitch on my machine. I just butted them next to each other. I used a rayon Sulky thread.
I trimmed them to size and to make construction easier, I rounded the corner.
I made the pillow inserts out of some fabric that was given to me. I will stuff those at lunch time today. Tonight after work I will make the backs and sew them together then that job will be done!
The only other project I had planned for Xmas for gifts was to turn these two cross stitch pieces into pillows. I will have to get more fiberfill for stuffing and it just depends on if I can find the time between now and Christmas Eve to make these. I still have pies and cookies to bake.

You are so on track to get 21 finishes in 2021. Good for you, Patty! I'm going to have to follow your lead and see if I can set a goal of 22 finishes in 2022. I have a lot of quilts getting to the just right stage for finishing that I could finish a bunch.
I love your cross stitch projects. You are really making great progress with them. Your quilting on the quilt is perfect again. Lovely work.
Cookie making starts on Wednesday here. I have two days to sew. Woohoo!
Wow love the pastel. You have some great pieces going!
The quilt looks great! You still have a lot to get done. Can you take another vacation day?
Like the ties, wish I had thought to do that before giving my husband's tie collection away!
It's a really good idea and looks great.
