Well, I actually ran out of time on one gift!! Its a 101 x 108 quilt for my fil's bed!! He got the top in a box, so next week I get to start quilting it!! Oh well, didn't want to rush and screw it up, so the finished product will be just a little late! Oh embarassing!! :oops: Good intentions though.

This afternoon.
We have snow - first time for gobs on years on Christmas Day. God made everything beautiful.

I have seen on emblibray.com a neat project. Putting an applique made from touille or organza on a pillar candle. I'm going to try this. My daughter wants me to make a thanksgiving and cristmas quilt for the g baby. We started a tradition in our family, I made pj's alike for all of us to wear Christmas eve/Christmas morning. So off to Hancocks/JoAnns to find Christmas fannel cheap for next year. Merry Christmas everyone....looking forward to another wonderful year on this board.

We are suppose to get some snow today as well. It is not here yet. I do pray that we get at least 3 inchs.

I hope to start no later than August. I have three oversized throw quilts to make for next year. This year, I finished my last project as the recipient was on the way to my house for the gift exchange!!

I guess I should do at least 1 new Christmas quilt per year. That may be a new goal for the coming year. I didn't do one for 2010 since I already had many. Maybe I'll catch some Christmas fabric on sale in the after Christmas sales. I can get the fabric then & figure out a quilt to make afterward.

When you figure out how-to a French braid please let me know. I love that pattern BUT I must have it blocked in my wittle brain cuz I can't put it together (probably very easy and I'm trying too hard). Thanks.
Have a blessed New Year

I just finished 3 Christmas quilts (1 more row to quilt on one and then I will quilt the small one later today). I still have one more Christmas quilt to make that my husband bought last year. (I think he wants me to stay out in the garage)

Merry Christmas Everyone !

I will be starting tomorrow or the next. I've been to sick to do much and now need to clean up my house first. But I would love to have a bunch of stuff done so all I don't have to worry about this next year. I have been sick right on christmas for the past 4 years. I need to learn to get it done early!!!
