Though I showed this as a WIP, I thought I'd sahre it finished and washed. The big girl in our house liked it. Setting the charms on their pretty diamond points was a fun new experience for me. I would definitely make another like it. Hope you are keeping cozy. We're still in the Northwoods of Wisconsin and so glad we'll see the temperature rise above zero. Now the kiddos can get outside to sled and play in the snow.

Scrappy Winter Quilt

Made from all kinds of things I had on hand, I love how this turned out. It is perfect for winter--bright and sunny when our weather is gray. The linen sashing and white blocks really make the colors dance. Hope you're having fun with some relaxing projects.

Our sweet little Sugar Lump tried to eat the gingerbread house. While visiting, our little guy and Sug made the house with Grandma Cookie's guidance. Apparently, all the frosting goodness was too much temptation for her two year old tongue. She took a nibble off the front gable, well, a chunk.

Hope your decorating is fun or funny as in my case!

For our big girl for Christmas. . . got the quilting done yesterday and now need to bind it. Can't wait for her to see it. The charms are from Joann's and I used some black swirl I had on hand. . . and of course the back and white cotton. Love the patterns and think I will quilt it on the diagonal to support that pattern. When I finish, I'll post the whole thing. Oh, how I love presents:).

I love all the bright colors in this one and how the white blocks and the linen border showcase all the hues. How to quilt it though? I love it so much, I'm thinking I should send it out, but maybe I can do something simple that would keep it lovely. If you have ideas, please do share them with me.

Hope you are enjoying the cheer of this season. We spent a lovely evening with kiddos and friends last night. The food, the decorations and the fun of conversation have me in the spirit! Happy Holidays:).

Christmas Tree Quilt

I had some scraps left from Candyland Christmas so I thought I would try a large version of my tree block. It turned into a nice lap quilt. I freehanded the little snowflakes that quilt the white space. They do the job, but I'm not sure I'm in love with it. More practice would solve the problem, I'm sure.

Hope you're getting into the mood of the season and getting your projects for gifts finished.
