quilting for sure. I still have some mandatory gifts to finish (binding 3 quilts) and some optional Christmas things. A day without sewing is like a day without sunshine. I will probably be too busy on Christmas day but if there is time I will be sewing.

Most definitely! Have to one left to bind, and another to finish piecing/sandwich/quilt/bind. That won't take long, then I'll keep sewing for myself. Unless there is something Earth shattering, I usually sew everyday, right after music!
Don't worry if plan A fails, there are 25 more letters in the alphabet!!
I will be quilting until the last minute. Right now I have turtle parts....heads, tails, bodies on my cutting table. I have a few quilts that need quilted. I'm going to get one on the frame tomorrow and get started on them.

I work to support a sewing habit that I don't have time for, because I work!
Oh how i wish I had a long arm......struggling with one on my machine right now...taking a break from frustration...it seems so heavy...and it's only 65x85....whaaaaa whaaaa right!

Smile and the world smiles with you, frown and you frown alone.
I have two lap size quilts made from blue jeans to quilt...my daughter's curtains to finish...and play house/card table cover-up for grandkids to make....and if I get all that done, I am sure I will find something else to work on. I try to sew/quilt something every day...it is my therapy. I have so many patterns I have bought and never tried....so I never run out of ideas.
Of coursebeside the pillow I need to finish so I can mail it on Tuesday, as others have said sewing is a therapy and I try to take it as a medicine every day
It helps me deal with the workstress of these past months!
Plus I'm quilting something for my beloved sister (she doesn't know it) and I go very slowly 'cause I try to do it as better as possible and that takes time!
I try and be in my sewing room every day to run away from all the dreariness in my life. Makes me a happier person.
I definitely will be sewing. Always a project to work on!

I am just so grateful for quilting. I love looking at tutorials, quilting magazines and books, and, oh, the gorgeous fabrics--well they are the icing on the cake. I cross stitch at night while we are watching TV--The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo for 7 more days--yippee!! Having my hands and mind busy is so very important for me. I truly believe that idle hands are the devil's biggest opening to discourage us and keep us down and in despair. Having projects to look forward to give us hope and excitement for the future. I have spent way too much on fabric, patterns, and tools over the years but my peace of mind is worth it.
