Christmas

Hello everyone...it is over;and was lots of fun with all the grandchildren.  But, we have had nothing but snow and power outages for the past 3 days....wind blowing it around....goodness!!!!..lol.  want to get back to normal here soon....and in the sewing room...hope you all enjoyed your Christmas....and have a great New Year......

W.I.P Wednesday

It has been a very slow week for me; as sewing goes. My aunt passed away...so was busy with funeral and etc.  But I do have a little tiny bit of sewing I can show you..it is what I am going to add to the top and bottom of the quilt top in progress; I want to make it longer; not square..not much to see; but all I have for now ladies...

I haven't seen any other postings this morning; not sure why.I probably missed something with everything going on this week; but have a look at Freshly Pieced and see how things are going with Lee....Have a Merry Christmas everyone...

A little project

This one was so much fun to do..I enjoyed every second of it...

Everyone; have a Merry Christmas....but; of course; I'll be here next Wed...for sure...lol
