This will be my last post until the New Year, as I am running on empty and the holidays are fast approaching. I need to focus on Christmas preparations and catch up on some much needed rest.
Maybe it is an age thing, but every year seems to pass by faster then the last. It has been a wonderful blogging year and I thank you for your company. I look forward to reconnecting in the New Year and all the inspiration to be found along the way.
170 Klosjes Completed
7 made two weeks ago
My sewing room has been organized from top to bottom and now the untrained eye would not know of my quilting hoarder ways. I did ask Santa for more time to quilt, in the New Year, so I will just have to wait and see what he leaves in my stocking.
Sashing is starting to go around my Shades of Autumn POTC blocks. Three of the sixteen blocks are now completed and I am very pleased with the results. You can see the colour of the Bali Bluff fabric more accurately on a previous posting.
Over the holidays I hope to finish the last two blocks for my Ring in the New! stitchery and work on other hand piecing projects. I will also continue joining my flowers together, each Wednesday, for One Flower Wednesday and plan on visiting any Garden Party members that post over the holiday season.
May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas grant you love.

ReplyDeleteYour One Flower Wednesday has changed my quilting life more than I would have imagined. If you hadn't organized the group, I wouldn't have seen hexies all over blogland, and I would never have tried it myself.
THANK YOU for the inspiration to get me started, and season's greetings to you and your family!
Wishing you a beautiful Christmas Time and look forward to catching up in the New Year.
