Merry Christmas

Wishing everyone a joyous Christmas filled with family, friends, good food, and lots of love and fellowship.

Finished last night J-10 Chiecko's Calla Lily....machine pieced and needleturn applique. 16 Jane melons..my Christmas gift to myself!

Another Holiday Ball

Oldest son attended another holiday ball this week. Here is my handsome son and his beautiful bride.

The Doll Makes An Appearance

I've had a productive day so far. Stirred up the dough for two types of bread and sewed three more Dear Jane blocks. All rotary cut and machine pieced today.

K-1 Crooked Creek

G-2 Mohawk Trail

Rotary cut and machine pieced

H-10 Ben's Bowtie

I did a lousy job of cropping the pic.

The quarter squares aren't chopped off in the actual block

Now...remember my story about the doll that I received three different Christmases? Look what I found..a picture with the doll in it. It was her blond year and she had a white "wedding dress". But who is holding her..not me. That's my cousin Phyllis in front with my doll sitting in my rocking chair. I'm on the left and my sister Judy on the right. Don't you just love that wallpaper? Grandma's Christmas cactus is in the picture too. Good memories.

Happy Birthday, Martin!

Another grandson turns 22 today. Step-brothers..six days apart in age. I hope you have a wonderful birthday today, Martin, and that year 23 is the best ever. Love, Grandma

H-7 and D-9

Only two blocks finished today.

H-7 Bennington Star.

Easy rotary cutting & machine piecing.I just can't make my border strips the way Jane does and instead use partial seaming to make all of the sides the same. I just don't like Jane's way..sorry.

D-9 Uncle Richard

More rotary cutting & machine piecing.
