Another Sunday day for me!!! Love this routine. Kids are headed off to Grandma's shortly with Dad driving them.... which gives me a nice quiet house. (45 minute drive to get there!). I'll be making up some Hershey Kiss cookies for a cookie exchange tonight.... and maybe making up a batch of sugar cookies. Then kitchen work is done and off to the sewing room I go! I'll be making a backing of Pink Llama fabric for the baby quilt... then pinning the quilt and machine quilting. Also need to attach the binding by machine so I can stitch it down by hand later tonight. A full day with the machine and the evening with the needle and thread snuggled under the quilt. A perfect day (did I mention the kids will be at Grandma's all day?)

Linking up with
Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching.
The results of the 'Christmas Crack' or 'Christmas Toffee' from last night. I really don't recall my tester piece being that big! I just took it out of the freezer so I can break it up and put in a tin...then back into the freezer so it doesn't melt down here in Florida. Must remember to use the smaller cookie sheet next time. I like a thicker toffee. Recipe is on the last post... or google it. I use saltine crackers -1 sleeve, butter and brown sugar, chocolate chips and sliced almonds on top. So yummy.

Horray for your ME time! Yes, snuggling under a new quilt putting binding on it with love is a wonderful feeling. Enjoy your holiday season!
Enjoy all that lovely time to yourself! Happy quilting!
Have a great day today... you did happen to mention that the kids were at Grandma's ALL day! *grin*
Hope you have lots of stitching time :)

I Love this colorful quilt! Love the idea of a star, too. Have a nice day, dear.
The quilt is fantastic. I love the backing fabric you picked for it.
Just in case I haven't said it before - I am totally in love with your quilt! It's definitely going on my Next! Pinterest board! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like a fun Sunday - baking and sewing! I love the llamas for your backing! So cute!
It's been ages since I've made those Hershey kiss cookies..now I think I might add kisses to my grocery list:)
