Ticking down to the final hours before Santa takes his big ride.....I want to say Merry Christmas to all of you! I truly hope your holidays are warm and filled with loving family and friends....
I will be spending Christmas at home with grandma's visiting - the girls coming and going - first here and then spending time with b'friend's families. That's just the way it should be.
my Scandinavian inspired skirt is under the tree....with a few packages finding their way to our place :)
And my Christmas bunting is on the mantel with homemade stockings and lots of sparkle!!!
And, finally, I have one more finish for 2011! Most likely the last quilt of the year....
This is a baby size quilt from Such Designs
The Wonky Little Houses Quilt
Carrie Bloomston, pattern designer, encourages the quilter to 'release your inner artist'....
So I did just that! I added birds in flight and a big, bright sun.....
I pieced the background, adding some kona in bone, snow and a little natural linen...
Each house is hand quilted as well the entire background...quilted with perle cotton in 1 inch intervals between each line of stitching...
I added a bright yellow rik-rak to the edge of the sun...everything is better with rik-rak!!!
The binding is a sweet pink polka dot!
I am glad to have one last finish for the year!
And the cutest pup {my humble opinion} wishes you a wonderful holiday!!!
Flanders :)
Happy Christmas Eve eve!!!
