Monday Making in the New Year

I'm going to begin the new year with 

a simple 4 patch quilt.

The 3" squares were READY to GO

in my little 3" square drawer.

I DID cut some purples

for the purple lover who will receive this one!

I have a nice stack started

and look forward to adding to it this week!

May YOUR new year hold

LOTS and LOTS of

scrappy HAPPY

QUILTING!!!

Link up and share what you're up to this week!

Handmade holidays

I gave a few little handmade goodies away this year.

It was SO nice to see them being used

RIGHT away!!!

Made this MAKERs heart

very happy.

:)

This shows that my MAKING might be catching!

YEAH!

A little knitting bag from my granddaughter.

LOVE. IT.

Here's my instagram BEST NINE for 2017.

I look forward to scraps and family time

in the year to come!!

We had a miracle this year.

EVERYONE was home!!!

My MOTHER's heart was happy about THAT.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thanks to all who participated in the Christmas quilt show!

Wasn't that fun??

The presents are under the tree.

The kids are all here.

The cookies have been dipped

and sprinkled.

The block print tree came home this week in a backpack.

It is SUCH a miracle that it is so perfect.

No wrinkles or stains.

I LOVE it.

Probably one of my all time favorite

SCHOOL art projects.

The vintage winter scene is on my wall.

I love the snow, the birds, the sled.

I am going to SOAK in the time spent with family.

May the Peace that Christ brings

be with you!

Christmas Quilt Show

Welcome to the CHRISTMAS QUILT SHOW!

I have just a few quilts that I like to pull out at

Christmas time.

This quilt incorporates paper pieced stars

PLUS a little applique.

This is a calendar quilt I designed a few years ago.

 Each month has a special chair.

This is for December.

Cookies and milk for Santa. 

This is a quilt I like to hang on the wall.

And then there are the quilts that STILL

need to be quilted!

;)

I love the vintage pictures on this scrappy quilt!

Now it's YOUR TURN!

Please link up and share YOUR Christmas quilts!

Last minute

If you're scurrying around

trying to figure out WHAT to MAKE...???

Look no further!

We all want to make SOMETHING!!!

But it's hard to come up with

QUICK and EASY sometimes, right?

This gift is so practical

and ANYONE with a kitchen will appreciate it!!

:)

I am hoping to pull out my wood burner

and add a decorated wooden spoon to this gift.

We'll see if TIME allows.

I was GIFTED this fun fabric recently.

It is the PERFECT kind of accent

for the inexpensive bar towels I bought at walmart!!!

You might want to step it up on the quality of towel.

Haha!!!

I cut SIX strips 2 1/2"

sewed the strips together

and then cut 3 1/2" segments.

I turned under the edges with my iron

 and top stitched them to the towels.

SO. simple.

I just wish I had purchased MORE TOWELS!!!!

Good luck to YOU on those last minute projects

you want to make and GIVE!
