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.

Happy Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

God has richly blessed me in so many ways. While my life has its ups and downs, I am thankful for all that I have.

I wish my friends and family a very lovely day, full of your favorite things.
