The snow is coming!!

Yes that is excitement you hear in my voice...snow is coming, a storm is on its way! Does anybody else get excited to watch it snow. Can't have a white Christmas without it!!

stuffy's quilts
Yesterday I finished machine quilting a quilt of valour and two small stuff animal quilts. Did all this while listening to Christmas music. Did you ever notice that Christmas songs are very sad, maybe it was just the mood I was in. So I decided I needed to switch it up and I made two small quilts from bits and pieces that were laying around. These little quilts will be paired with some stuff animals I have and then shared with VICARS(a victim response team)who gives them to children when needed. Besides little quilts are quick and fun to make too. It was just what I needed to be a little creative and actually finish something in one day! Might make some more today too.

Slow stitching will happen later as I get to sew down the bindings on these quilts. For now going to go to the sewing room and create!!! This little stuffed swan needs a quilt. She even talks to you when you squeeze her. She says "do you swan to be my Valentine"! Check in with Kathy and see what others are up to today in preparation for Christmas.

  1. Such a lovely idea to make the quilts with their own stuffed toy for children in need.

You just never know!

 The other day a friend texted me and asked if I recognized the photo she sent me. It was a photo of a quilt, one that I had made last year ...
