Monday motivation? Nope, haven’t heard of it. But my coffee mug is pretty inspiring. 🤷☕️
Happy Monday morning!!! Welcome to Monday Musings! Have you started your Christmas stitching or are you already finished?!! I have been working on some of mine…somewhat, but nothing is actually produced yet! LOL Now let’s move on to the good stuff!!
Here’s how my story ended for the week of 12/1- 12/7/25:
- Finish unsewing and resewing Secret Quilt #1. DONE!! And, the top is put together and ready to be quilted!! YAY me!
- Post for Virtual Christmas Cookie Exchange Blog Hop. DONE!! Here is my project and you can read about it in my previous post HERE. This is the project we made at my Bernina dealer…when Big Mama Nina followed me home!
- Cut out Secret Quilt #2. DONE!! This one is going to be fun to make…I hope!!
- Play with embroidery unit of Big Mama Nina. NOPE!! I did digitize a pot holder I am going to test on her this week.
- Whatever cranks my tractor! DONE!! We had lunch with Chicken Legs’ “work wife” on Friday! I talk to her just about every week and it was great to finally meet her! Then Saturday, our city Christmas Parade took place. Miss M’s dance team walked/danced their way down the street to the judges. They had fun. It was too cold for me! LOL Here is a photo with her best dance buddy!

Yea for unsewing and resewing a quilt. Doesn’t sound like fun but I am sure it was necessary. I watched a live stream of our county parade the other day. Boy, it was definitely a small town parade. I was happy some of the singing group I’m in were willing to walk in the cold on a Saturday!
Lol my husband had many work wives! Is Miss M the one on the left? Sounds like you are having a good pre-Christmas season. Hope your week is a fun one!
Hi Brenda, thanks for sharing all of the fabulous quilts.
