QAYG CHRISTMAS TABLE RUNNER


START AT BOTTOM.     FOR SOME REASON I COULD NOT  PLACE IMAGES IN CORRECT ORDER.
Added a backing to top and flipped, then hemmed opening. VOILA!
Quilted the top and batting of each block  and joined them at seams
Chose some gold metallic fabric and some stars from Christmas fabric.
                                                       
Found some old Christmas circular blocks .





Christmas Cards 2013

Could not find Angel fabric this year



Card stock frames need another type glue.

THEY KNOW WHAT I LIKE! :-)


My sister attended the National Association of Black Sstoryteller's Conference in November 2012, and bought this lovely wall hanging for me.  The center is felted and shows the three Wise Men coming to see the babe.  I love the colors and the stitching of the crazy blocks.



Then, my daughter took the crazy picture I've used all year on FB and this blog and made a mug of it for me.  Now, this  is my favorite mug.

Sister also purchased this book, which I didn't have in my collection.   I remember her asking to borrow this and finding out I didn't have it.  Clever girl.  The thoughtfulness of these gifts fills me with gratitude that overflows my heart.

T'IS THE SEASON

In deference to the season, I've changed my header to a triptych for Christmas,  made from fabulous seasonal fabrics I collected for a few years.

CHRISTMAS CARD STORY

Angel set
Abstracts


ABstracts

It's The Christmas Season. In October and November, between other projects, I made collaged Christmas cards to sell at two Holiday Bazaars. Last year, I think I sold a few cards. So I just knew I'd have some left to send out to friends and family. NOT! I sold every last one of them.

Pretty trees

In trying to figure out what I did differently, I note that the sizes are larger ( 5 x 8),  and since I'd run out of those lovely picture framing cards I'd bought as a bargain at an Awesome Deals store that  has since closed, I decided to make my own. Though they didn't turn out perfect, they looked professional enough – discovered I need a better glue or glue stick( with pointed end).

And Santas, of course


So now I'm taking a day here and there to make a few more to send out.
