Christmas Projects

At 9:30 pm Christmas Eve there were no pajama pants, by 9:30 Christmas morning there were 9 pair of pajama pants. I had one hold out that would not put her pants on, second from right=) I also made 3 Penny Sturgis bags for the adult girls but no picture=( They all love the bags though.




Here are a couple of the 7 little dogs I made for my grandsons. I liked the zipper mouth where things can be hidden.




Here are the Raggedy Ann dolls and quilts I made for my two little granddaughters.

Drive By Quilting?

Yes! And What a Beautiful Day it was...

One HP Quilter Said... "if you must hang your laundry out for all to see, this is what it should look like"... paraphrased of course. Sorry, Steph. For the quote and the stealing of photos from your fab. blog

From 2008 Sampler quilts to Pinwheels and Disappearing 9 Patch Quilts. We are all in this together! So pleased to have such great participation.

Wonderful variations on a "theme"

So cute

Some unfinished, but tops done! Yay!

From These wonderful displays

* someday I will figure out how to link to cool things, for now Go to Stuph from Steph (find it on the left) and enjoy the Trunk Show

A Mystery Trip

Anybody else do the New Year's Day mystery quilt last week? You know I can't resist a good mystery quilt and this one called for, you guessed it: batik scraps. Gee, I wonder if I had any?

I am very proud of myself for not buying any fabric for this. I have the sandwich ready for quilting, but I'll bring it even if I don't get it quilted.
