Christmas gifts...

I first saw this idea in a book I purchased..I'll try and remember what it was called, but there are tutorials covering these too! I probably started about 3 months ago, hoping to finish at least 2 towel sets a month so I'd have plenty on non-stressing out days.Well that didn't happen..and it is now a week before Christmas and I STILL have 3 more to sew!! EEeek! Looks like it'll be a long night tonight, I HAVE to finish 2 by monday so they can be shipped across the US in time for my niece and nephew to open! And since I'm leaving thursday to head south on my 10 hour road trip to my moms..not only am I worried about finishing these up but also about remembering to pack everything! (Sally is going to be tagging along...buckled up in her case in the passenger seat next to me!) ...No Sally is not my dog...she's my Singer sewing machine!

                                    One year old boy:
                               
                                    Five year old girl
                                
                                          Six year old girl
Next on list:
3 year old boy
1 year old girl
7 year old girl
Hopefully finishing all 3 tonight and tomorrow!
I forgot to mention all of my many friends having babies!! I have been one heck of an appliquing fool ...have to learn some how right?! :)

A question to all with sergers!

I am posting this in hopes that SOMEBODY will be able to provide me with their knowledge on serging! If you have a serger would you please please please let me know which one you own, as well as the positive and negatives that come with using it :) With all these Thanksgiving sales happening I am being pulled into making a purchase this weekend! As this is my first ever post ...I thank you ahead of time for taking the time to help out! I can't wait for the opportunity to sew dresses for my nieces that they can wear time and again.

-As my new saying..on my new blog goes...Thank you from the bottom of my beginners heart! =] Just a girl sewing on Sally the Singer in the middle of a red dirt sand storm.
