Last Minute Progress

It's been an odd and extremely busy week.  Anyone else feel like sometimes getting ready for vacation is just as much work as a regular job?  We're on our way to the Commonwealth State (aka- Pennsylvania) for some fun Turkey Day celebrations with family, but I did manage to get a couple of things done before we left. 

1- I got one Christmas block and a Christmas table runner done (blogged about here).

2- Skill builder:  I was hoping to get it done before leaving, but the only thing I was able to do was cut most of the pieces out.  I guess this will have to wait until we get back.

3- This is most exciting finish of the week- I made my first pot holders!  I seriously love them.  I'll definitely be making more.  They're not too difficult to make - just a little thick under the machine.  I used My Girl Thursday's tutorial.  I used slightly different materials, but LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how they turned out.  Here's what the back looks like:
