WiP Wednesday & Fifteen Minute Challenge - Stomach Bug Edition

The Dude had the stomach bug Thursday night, puked all night, and bounced back by Friday afternoon. I had the stomach bug yesterday, puked once, slept for 13 hours, and am barely moving today. I want to be a six-year-old.

But Christmas doesn't care about stomach bugs, so I had to keep working today.
I used my 15 minutes each day to prep the binding for Rudolph and the Grinch. By Sunday it was ready to go and I started alternating 15 minutes of binding with 15 minutes of present wrapping - a good way to do two hated tasks.

Plus it's really nice to have the binding all neatly wound up while sewing it!

Christmas Sewing:
Grinch panel quilt - niece - quilted, half-bound
Rudolph panel quilt - the Dude -quilted, bound & awaiting threads clipped
 
Quilt-Alongs:
Fat Quarter Stars - four blocks behind...sigh...
LQS Saturday Sampler - 10/12 blocks done - need to do October and December
Quiltville Orca Bay {Skorca!} - 50/112 B&W QSTs, 9/36 red strings, 34/175 B&W HST, 32/32 blue squares to become triangles, 4/175 B&W HST with additional triangles

Hunter's Star, round two
No actual sewing progress, but I did cut most of the pieces I still need for the half-blocks.

  3. Oh to be 6 again and recovery so quickly. Hope you are feeling better.

    I like your idea of switching off between wrapping and binding. I may use that today to finish up my holiday stuff.

    Even with your downtime, sounds like you made progress on a number of fronts.
