December Happenings

As a Quilter...
Starting on a log cabin quilt.
Piecing, piecing and more piecing.

Mother working on a sewing circle quilt.  Notice her little diagram  she is following for her pattern.

Ready to quilt a personalized quilt for a class at Patchwork Plus. 

Life...
What is this big celebration supper about?

My little clan.

Going out for breakfast.

Enjoying each other around the fire.

We spent a good part of Christmas day playing progressive rook. 

While everyone played rook I watched the grands.
 

Enjoying every minute being a Grandma.


Autumn made coasters to match cups for
 some special hand made gifts.

Rebecca made Lattes for the employes at 
Patchwork Plus.  Such a treat.

  5. Enjoyed your post, Barbara! I am eager to see your finished quilt. I have a Star Tricks quilt in progress. I am attempting to enlarge it by putting half stars around it. And now I don't have enough of my background fabric, although I have searched the web. Wish me luck!

  9. Love that black/aqua quilt! I just cut out a black/white quilt today and was thinking I might add an aqua accent to it, now that I see yours I am sure I will do that.

  12. really like your choice of teal with black and white. very striking combination of colors. I am inspired to make my own log cabin but probably not as complicated as yours. Great Job!
