It’s Time for the Great Stocking Race of 2011

It’s December 12. Christmas is in 13 days.


Three questions for you:

1. Have you started trading sleep hours for productivity?

2. How many homemade gifts are you still working on?

3. Are you going to finish them in time?

My answers:

1. Not yet, but soon…maybe starting tonight!

2. Five stockings

3. I hope so!

I’m sure I’m not the only one still working on holiday projects, so I’ve decided to form a (low-key) support group. We can encourage each other, post updates, and hopefully make a big push to the finish. Sew with me!

Share your answers to questions 1-3. Reply with a comment below or on our Facebook page to be a part of the fun, and then watch for updates, as well as giveaways for those who respond.

But for now…stop browsing the Internet and get sewing!

About the Author: Lisa Swenson Ruble

I made my first quilt when I graduated from college and realized that I needed a hobby to fill all those hours that used to be dedicated to homework! Eleven years later, I'm completely addicted to quilting and thrilled that my day job as the managing editor for Quilt, Simple Quilts & Sewing and Quilt Almanac allows me to "play" with quilts and the friendly world of quilters!

    Well for the stocking race…. I should be using my sleeping time being productive but to be honest I’m not. I have a big basket (unsure of numbers) of gifts to finish. Will I be done NO WAY!
