Happy December

I love the holiday season. We cut a Christmas tree after Thanksgiving at our favorite tree farm near Kings Valley. We use to go up in the mountains in Colorado to cut a tree every year. Boy, was that hard going in heavy snow up to your waist at times but have great memories playing in the snow with our dogs. After a LONG search we found the Christmas tree, haul it down the slope and then have some HOT CHOC to warm up. We enjoy our GREEN Oregon Christmas with wonderful Christmas tree farms all over the state. I wanted to do a Christmas quilt project this year but didn't get it done. I'm going over to Craftwarehouse tomorrow and check out the Christmas fabric on sale. I may try to get a project started for next year. I have been working on my Quilt Guild challenge quilt which has to be done by the end of Jan. It is "Come Sail Away" for the theme "Your Dream Vacation". I'm almost finished quilting it and then will turn it to do the sides. It has been alot of work doing block by block with different designs in it. I have been busy with the State Fair on the Quilting Committee. The State Fair went thur a HUGE SHAKEUP which ruined the Creative Living exhibits. More information later about our committee.

  1. You left a comment on my blog so I am checking out your blog. You know what I discovered? I have absolutely NO Christmas fabric anywhere. Never have I owned a piece of Christmas fabric in my life. Isn't that sad? I saw Jenny Doan do a tutorial on a tiny Christmas tree skirt and thought I wanted to do it, but then realized I didn't own a piece of Christmas fabric. I better do something about it. Here I am, overwhelmed with fabric and giving away kits and not owning any Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine's, or Halloween fabric. Shame on me!

  2. So, to do the side borders, you have to take the quilt off the frame and put it back on sideways? I've never thought about that. I take my quilts to a long armer all the time but have never considered how she does them. That is really interesting. There is a lot of work involved. I didn't realize that.
