Done, Done, Done

Yeah, the Santa Bags are not only done but they have been wrapped and mailed!  My Christmas newsletter is finished, printed and mailed.  And, with a week before Christmas I am almost finished with my shopping.  Hurry! 

Everything but Jeb Bush!

I will have to post the picture that I used for this design.  It was a stained glass pattern named 'Everything Florida except Jeb Bush'.  Jeb Bush was the Governor at the time so that dates the creation of this quilt.  I am trying to do some 3 dimensional work on it by creating the turtle, alligator, egret and such as stand alone appliqué items and then embroidering them on.  We shall see....

I guess this one should be moved to the top of the pile since Christmas is less than 2 months away!  Part of the hesitation is that I really do not have a place to hang it!  But, she is beautiful and I should make a place.  Actually, I should be hanging these holiday quilts in Mike's office since it is front and center and he already has a quilt there.  But, I must finish it first!

Season of Trees

I love this quilt!  I love crazy quilting...and I actually have this kit.  I have completed the first block and hope to someday complete all the rest.  I have the second block pieced and hopefully I can take it on our next car trip and do a lot of the embellishing.  The quilt is huge and will take a very long time to complete...considering how many other projects you will see here!

This is my first block...almost completed.  But, is a crazy quilt ever completed?  There is always one more button, just a little more embellishment and so on and so on....
