Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep scrappy quilt the quilt is scrappy of course, the label is a folded hanky that my Irish friend gave to me that she bought when on vacation in Germany.

I did 4 of these dish towel, one is sent off in the mail already but these are a fun project, I learned to do sewing machine caligraphy a couple months ago and thought these dish towels would be a lot of fun as  Christmas gifts.  I use vintage linens and counted cross stitch that if find treasure hunting at thrift shops and garage sales.  I just can't pass up a project that someone spent hours on and someone else just discarded, I just have to give them a new home.  Fabreann is my daughter, Jeannie is my daughter-in-law and Julie is my dear quilting friend.  Merry

Hi everyone---how are you all doing with getting Christmas done?  I'm almost done just a bit more to bake and then we can DO Christmas.  I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy Quilting in 2013

Hi---it's time to load the latest quilt--so fun---Olivia (my Irish E-Pal) sent me oriental fabric for Christmas last year so I found this pattern that was just perfect---then we had a class on sewing machine calography at our guild meeting so I tried it out on this quilt, with practice I will get better but am pretty happy with the way it came out.  The Japanese symbol means "Spring".  This is not a real big quilt 60 X70 which is a small one in my book but I'm getting old so my quilts may start getting smaller??????
