Almost Finished







Today I worked on a small panel wallhanging. It was not finished in time for Christmas. I will send it to my sister, even though it is late.

Fun with Toile




I started a couple of small pieces today. I used burgundy toile fabric. They won't be finished in time for Christmas this year. Oh...well... I enjoyed working on them.

Still Sewing








I was up late last night..... s e w i n g. Here are the wallhangings I was working on.

It was snowing when I woke up this morning. It stopped about an hour ago.


Here is one of the first quilts I made. I purchased the Christmas fabric in Pennsylvania many years ago. My friend Deb in California quilted it on her long arm.


This year I decided to put it on my bedside table.


The rose was a gift from my new dentist yesterday. What a nice thing to do!

Stocking Swap 2009





I opened my stocking last night because I am working today. I will miss both of the openings. Sigh.

Mamacrafty made me a fabulous pieced stocking with beads and bells and fuzzy trim in very bright colors. Also, she made me a matching cosmetic bag. They are so "me." She did a great job.

Also, with the stocking were: a journal, hand lotion, super seamer ruler, 2 fingertip Christmas towels, a Folk Art Flowers block kit, holiday spread knives, Mary Englebreit soap and felt snowmen stickers...and...a Jim Shore figurine - a patchwork snoman.
Wow! She sure did spoil me. Everything is wonderful!

Thank you Mamacrafty aka Paulette. I am glad you had my name this year.

Stockings!











I have been making Christmas stockings. Here are a few photos. I just could not get the lighting right. Sigh.
