It's Done!!

I finished my "Back to Square One" top!. I am so happy that I stayed caught up with this every month because it was a lot of fun. I love Judy's mysteries because we have a month to complete each step and I have a better chance of not getting behind. I already have the backing for this so it will get quilted as soon as my quilter brings my other quilts back. I think it will look lovely on that bed when I get it quilted too!

I'm missing my quilting buddies......

I have enjoyed spending time with family and we still have one more Christmas to go on Saturday.  But I am missing my quilting friends... I need some me time to sew and visit with my girls.....  

I guess we have to wait until Tuesday.  Hope you all can make it....

Happy New Year, Everyone.

Merry Christmas.......

We spent yesterday at my Mom's for Christmas.  My kiddos were there and my four year old grandson.    We received the greatest gift of all from my son and daughter-in-love.......see photo.

This is their third pregnancy as the first two babies are with Jesus due to miscarriages.   This time Casey has already heard the heartbeat and things are going well, except for morning sickness, and the baby is due in August..   Prayers for a healthy pregnancy are always welcome..

Poppy Joey made a special gift for Cayden.  But Cayden was told it was a gift for Poppy and he had to help uncover it....Poppy made a riding horse for Cayden from wood.  I will post a picture as soon as I get them off my camera...Cayden was embarrassed and shy, he was a little confused....but he took to riding his horse and had a lot of fun with it....

Last year we started doing Dirty Santa.  Always fun for us big kids....

I pray each of you have a wonderful celebration of Jesus birth, enjoy your families, and have a great time playing with your fabrics........I'm off to bind a quilt.....

PATRIOTIC MINIATURE QUILT

This is my rendition of the "Shifting Directions" quilt pattern from American Patchwork & Quilting, August 2013.  I drafted a mini pattern and made this patriotic miniature quilt.  It measures 7 3/4" X 10" overall.  The navy blue squares are 3/8".

It was good to be back at our Tuesday night quilting after missing last week because of the weather.  Everyone had their own story to tell about how we managed to deal with the ice storm.  We will not meet again until January 7th because of the holidays.   MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!
