The gift making continues here in our home. Charlotte has created numerous dish cloths and has added dozens of rows to her Daddy's afghan. I have been making more miniature wallhangings/table toppers. I just love little 9 patches made with 1" squares. They are so dang cute!!!.JPG)
Add some fence rails and 1/2 square triangles and you have the makings for a sweet little miniature. All I need to do is mark and baste it and it is ready for the hoop..JPG)
I played around with a Christmas jelly roll......JPG)
Not at all thrilled with this little table topper. Zach had some fun with the strips....
He wants me to stitch that creation up for him. LOL

They are NICE!!! I want that pattern!
She also enclosed a few things for me. A sweet pincushion, some notecards and a wallhanging kit. I am in love with the design and the fabrics are so me!!! .JPG)
Thank you so much Debi. You are such a blessing to me and my family...in more ways than one!!

So did you sew it up for Zach? I think it would be challenging LOL. Great gifties are being made and recieved at your house.
Crispy
Charlotte is really doing so well at that.
Have a nice week end.
Good job, Charlotte! It can be so tedious working row after row on blankets. Keep up the good work!
Way to go Charlotte! I love your blog Bren! You are very inspiring! Have a great weekend!
What a great post , full of such lovely things , thankyou .
Great job by Charlotte. I am so glad the kids love their pillowcases.
Way to go Charlotte!!!
Your quilts are SO beautiful!! I love everything - even the Christmas table topper you aren't so crazy about. lol You are SO talented and have such a great sense of color.
That recipe looks so good - definitely something I'm going to try on my family this week. I like that it looks easy yet good.
I am actually quilting! YES - it's true! I have been hand quilting a Santa wall hanging I started several *ahem* years ago. Yes, years. lol Anyway, you inspired me and I've decided to get it finished. My stitches are not as beautiful as yours, but the more I do, the better it gets. I'm just doing my best and not beating myself up over those uneven stitches from the past. I'll post pictures soon. I can't do like you, though, and use a bare finger on the underside. I am a wimp - I admit it - and have a sticky thimble on that finger so I don't get poked. :)
Take care, my friend, and have a wonderful week!
God bless you - Julie
