Paisley's for Hubbie

My husband, Fuzzy has loved paisleys since the 60's when he wore a paisley tie each day to Catholic High School. So for a surprise this year I created a piasley wall hanging for him with the blocks from the round robin I was in earlier this year. I could not find any black background paisley to surround the blocks, so I went with the peace sign motif.  A little busy for some people, but he loved it....

Sheryl's Ornament

My best friend from College lost her cat this summer. I made an ornament for her in memory.

Fuzzy's Stocking

Here is the Christmas Stocking I made for my husband two years ago. I never posted it. I tried to include all his interests and likes on it: Baseball, paisley, photography, music and jazz, his dog, cooking, AA and me of course!

Last Cracker in the Mail

The last of my three Christmas Crackers have been mailed. I added an angelina butterfly and a beaded spider to this one. Hope she likes it.

Christmas Ornament Swap 2011

Ornaments swapped this year have arrived. I plan to get the tree up over the weekend and display all that I have collected over the past several years. This year from Lisa Caryl, Kandee Coffee, Rhonda Bateman, Lena Hurley, and Natascha Rutherford.

Winter/Holiday Round Robin Finale

After literally traveling around the world my Holiday/Winter blocks are back. Somehow they ended up in Finland twice and then to South America before returning to the proper rotation. Needless to say, I am happy they are back, even though 5 months behind!

Christmas Cracker Swap

Here are two of the three projects I am mailing to swap for Christmas with some of my Crazy Quilting friends.... Hope they like. I was surprised there was no line at the post office today....

CQ Ornaments 2011

These are the ornaments I made this year for the annual swap I am a part of. I tried the round ones this year, usually just make stockings.

One dollar heirlooms

At a rummage sale recently I came across these gorgeous stockings for $1 a piece. Someone put a lot of work into them. I am pleased I can have them for my own.

Cracker 2

Cracker 2 was opened Christmas Day. It was from Josie, in Texas. The first thing I noticed was the cover with the spider spelling out Merry Christmas! Inside was a treasure of lovely things. Laces, buttons, threads, fabrics, beads, and a pretty silkie. Lastly, she included a recipe card with a map of Texas on it as a momento.  Thank you Josie!

Cracker 1

I opened 1 of the 2 Christmas Crackers I received through CQI. This is what I received from Meg in South America.  I really liked the lace piece, chocolate and pretty yellow ribbon. Thank You, Meg.

Waiting for Santa!

Good Holiday Wishes
