We started decoration for christmas. I just love these little snowmen I found at a dollar store!




They are so cute!!


I am posting 5 of the 8 cute little stocking I finally finished. I will add another pic sometime soon of all 8








I'm trying to be productive and get little projects out of the way. I am a first year member of our quilt guild (yay!) and this year we are giving quilt covered books for our gifts at the christmas banquet. Cool idea. I few months ago, we brought in a "book" of our choice(I brought in a mini album) and fabric of our choice in a brown paper bag. We put it all in a bin and then everyone picked one, so we had to take that home and cover it. Mine isn't so creative as I am kinda a newbie, but I think it's going to be pretty cute. I'll post pics of the finished product : ) I have to get it done, christmas banquet is Tuesday night. I've always been a bit of a procrastinator.
Then I have to put the one remaining strip of border around my inlaws lap quilt and I am going to take it to be machine quilted. I still haven't rec'd my quilting feet for my new machine..grrrr. I am so looking forward to learning this technique.

Very nice mantel decoration. The snowmen are a great find.

You're never behind in blogging. :)

The stockings are too cute. I need to finish up my Halvorsen ornaments too (eventually).

I'm also a procrastinator but I work better with that bit of pressure. Too easy to walk away when you have lots of time.

Check out Harriet Hargrave books for quilting on a home machine info. I have her book from 12 or 13years ago but I learned so much from it.
