It’s Christmas Eve and I wanted to wish all my readers near and far away a very Merry Christmas! Our Christmas this year will be a quiet one as we have no family near by or coming to visit so that is why I am still spending time sewing and quilting….not cooking and cleaning!
I had a charm pack of ‘Joy’ fabric so made another table runner for Christmas using my favourite pattern.
I asked my family to do me a favour yesterday and that was to let me take a family picture for Christmas outside. Now this normally isn’t a big deal but it was –28’c outside with a wind-chill making it feel like –35’c…but the sun was shining. I didn’t do my usually 20 pictures but only took about 5 and then we ran back into the house, the wind off the lake was cold!
See we do actually sit on that bench on our dock, it’s not just for quilts! :)
Merry Christmas from my family to yours and have a wonderful New Year!
Merrry Christmas to you as well, Kathy. What great family pictures you have!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christamas to you and the family Kathy. Love the photos. it's hard to imagine it being that cold at the moment as we sit here in the early morning Christmas Day sun and already it is very warm-predicted to be 27 degrees celcius.

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas. This will be our first "quiet" Christmas, I think it is a rare treat. I am really enjoying the time to sew, not clean and cook....I did it in Nov. for Thanksgiving.

Belated Christmas blessings, Kathy. The new table runner looks wonderful and the family photos are great. The family will have to do a "four-season" pose on that bench for 2013! Best wishes for the New Year.

Thank you for the inspiration. I had a charm pack of Christmas fabrics, just waiting for the right project. This was it. A pleasant afternoon stitching the top together. Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to quilt it.
