Tis the Season

I can't believe that it is already the end of the first week of December. It always seems to me that in October I have all the time in the world to get ready for Christmas and before I realize it December is here. Of course I am getting organized and almost done all of my shopping, but now the Christmas concerts, parties etc.. begin, any baking that I had thought about doing has now been put on hold to the dismay of my family, and I am ready to sleep for a week.

I am very excited about one of Emmy's gifts. I decided to try quilting for the first time using fabrics only no panels. I haven't had it stippled or bound yet, but apparently there is quite a long wait at the quilt shop. Here is a picture of the almost finished project. It is on a weird angle but it was the only way I could fit the entire quilt in the frame. This is another one of the patterns from Thimble Blossoms, it is called Bloom. I am planning to try a couple of others to add to my quilt collection so stay tuned for more pictures. (Just to warn you it could be a while)
