WINTER QUILT UPDATE

I am back to working on the Winter quilt. I finished the snowman, stocking, holly boughs, three top angels, the hollies berries section. and two Santas. I discovered that the holly boughs block needs red berries, so I can't assemble the top section just yet. The middle section has been joined together. I still need to applique the long tree and ornaments that go on the left side. Just waiting to see how the top two sections measure before I cut background for the tree. Won't be long now until it is all together. Yeah!

I made some more Sisters Choice Blocks for the trade. I have fourteen done with several more cut out waiting.

My pictures are taken with them stuck to my block butler. If you look at close ups, you will see all the threads stuck to it. I like the block butler but every thing sticks to it!

I will be off the computer for two weeks. We are going on a trip to visit family. We will also see our "oldest and dearest" friends as they have family in the same town. We planned our trips so we would be there at the same time. We have known our friends for over 40 years so that makes us all old and dear. We laugh a lot about that.



I will catch you up to date when I return.

Happy blogging until then!
