Joy, Love, Peace!

I wish for you a Happy Hanukkuh, Peaceful Solstice, and a Merry Christmas!

Nativity for Small Children

 This is a pre-printed panel to construct a Nativity scene that is perfect for young children to play with.  No trims or buttons- just sew and stuff.

Here they are finished.  Last year my cats kept stealing the baby Jesus, but we always managed to find him.

Crazy Christmas Quilt

Here is my entry!  I just finished it.  I have always wanted to make a Christmas Quilt, but I usually hang our stockings from my quilt display rack.  All year long I hang different quilts up and we don't have a fireplace mantle for the stockings. 

It is 37"x37".  I used a variety of fabrics from my stash- 3 upholstery fabrics, fake suede, green silk noil, gingham, Asian print cottons and one actual "Christmas" print cotton.  I like using scraps because it gives a quilt an interesting look.

I did some fancy machine stitching in places.  The suede already had stitching on it.  The quilt has a flannel back and could be a table covering, wall hanging, sofa drape etc.  I haven't decided what to do with it yet.  

Thanks for visiting!
