Isn't it silly how we get all giddy when we see one of our blocks in someones quilt? I sure do! I must admit that more then once I had to return to the gallery, thank you Janice, and see what I sent so I can locate it in the quilt top photo. I forget sometimes.
I had Christmas with my brother and his children today! A wonderful group of 23 folks noshing on brunch goodies, opening presents, playing with children, telling tales of Christmases past and favorite "what-evers". The adults exchanged ornaments and got to keep or steal from others. Fun! Then from my brother and sister in law I was gifted a few yards of....Liberty fabric!!! They were in London this fall and I asked that they bring me back a little piece. Well, I got a large print and two companion fabrics. Only other quilters would know why this is such a special gift. The fabric not any thing I would have picked out myself, but I accept the challenge to use this lovely fabrics to make a special quilt for myself. Oh, the silky softness of this fabric is amazing.
They were both astounded and impressed at the selection of types of fabric and the store as a whole. Not just fabric, the whole store. My brother was particularly impressed with the Christmas Shop. He said it was not like anything he has ever seen in the U.S. He bought a glass kingfisher ornament from Poland that looks like the real bird and was so exquisitely decorated. I hardly dared touch it.
One more celebration tomorrow after church then ............ I will wait for Christmas Day to arrive.
