It's hard to believe that it is December already, and we are headed into the holiday rush. It seems like I am never prepared for this time of year, although I should be used to it by now. We enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving with Ed's family, and it was a nice break to not be doing all the cooking. Before long we will be visiting my family in Wisconsin, which will include meeting the most recent addition to the family, a new great niece. If only the weather would warm up a bit before we go!
My quilting time this week has been spent on secret projects that can't be revealed just yet. The one thing that I can share is the latest addition to the stash. I got some more colors of the Glaze line by Libs Elliott to use in the temperature quilt I'm planning to make next year. These will join the other fabrics I shared in an earlier post HERE. Total yardage added was 6.5 yards.
I now have over 30 different colors available for my temperature quilt, definitely more than I will need. The black is an option for my background/setting fabric (I also have a grey choice.) It's time for me to make a decision on the pattern I will make and to assign colors to my temperature ranges.

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch Challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of quilting time. It's been harder to fit in time for quilting this week around Thanksgiving and decorating for Christmas, but I did get at least 15 minutes every day, although some days it wasn't much more than that.

I'm not ready for the cold temps. We had the warmth for so long, it's hard to adjust. Love your new additions. Looking forward to seeing what you decide on for your temperature quilt. Great stash and stitching time metrics this year. Only one more month to keep up the effort on both, then we start again for 2025.
