Made some early Christmas gifts.....
I'll be seeing my brother and sisters tomorrow, each year on the first Sunday in December we meet in the cemetery at our parent's and youngest brother's grave, we lay a grave blanket and say prayers for them and other family members who have passed and welcome the new additons. Afterwards we go to lunch and when we're finished eating I give out some small gifts. My sister Pat always says it's Mrs. Santa and her bag so I decided to make a Mrs. Santa bag - just a strip of Holiday fabric on a Joanne's bag.
In the bag will be fruit breads for my sibilings, a jar of Apple Butter for married nieces and nephews and fruit flavered candy canes for their small children. I also made a thread catcher for my sister Carol, I just need to fill the pincushion with sand. Carol is my prized (and only) quilting student - it's her reward for doing A+ work on her quilts. Let you in on a secret, I think she's going to be a much better and careful quilter than I am.
