A Christmas Wish

I would like to thank Gail Pan for this wonderful quilt pattern. She offered it as a BOM. I only got started on it in early November, so I had quite a bit of catching up to do. It has been so much fun to pick up needle and thread again. This project along with Ellie's Country Calendar has reminded me how much I used to love to do embroidery. I think that counted cross stitch took over my floss addiction and embroidery went by the wayside. Here is her link:

I think that I need to learn to use my camera better. My pictures are all coming out blurry.

7 Bears for Adam

I am presently making this quilt for my grandson. I have altered the pattern a bit by adding 3 more bears and having them all face the same way to fit a toddler bed. ConnectingThreads.com had this very reasonably priced kit and there was enough yardage left over to increase the size of the quilt without buying any extra. What a bargain! It is almost finished being quilted by me by hand and should come off the frame tonight. I am so excited to give it to him. It will look like this...

Hugs and Kisses

Surfing the web one weekend I came across a wonderful quilt site, http://www.allpeoplequilt.com/. It is wonderful because it has tons of free patterns for some of the cutest quilts. I just finished quilting this one and now it just needs to be bound. It is called, "Hugs and Kisses". I just love the curly cue hugs and the X kisses. I haven't figured out yet what I am going to do with it, but it was fun to make.
