Christmas Colours with Robyn




This will be my 26th Christmas with children...27th  with my husband....I have never been big on decorations...I do a little but my quilting has always been more important....but each year the  decorations that I do have become even more special than the year before....they are filled with memories of my children growing up and the wonderful friends and family we have...here are a few of my favorite things....and to answer Robyn's question ...What is my favorite Christmas song? Little Drummer Boy  by Neil Young and Johnny Cash...

Check out Robyn's blog Colorful Friday's...she organizes all this fun...http://daisyquilts.blogspot.com/

Merry Christmas to everyone...hope you are enjoying each  and every day of this joyful season....

This beauty belongs to Cecilia....she saw Julie's quilt hanging at Keepsake Cottage in Bothell,  fell in love and made it Kingsize for her son and his wife...LUCKY!! .....check out Julie's blog post [owner of Keepsake Cottage] from August... Julie was away on retreat with Teri Atkinson the designer of this pretty quilt....I quilted it with Splash by Willowleaf Studios...it looks so pretty.

heart and home

I finished piecing Heart and Home today....

I put a few extra borders on it so it would be a great  cuddle quilt for two....hope to get it quilted over the Christmas break.I am quite happy with the end result especially since these are not my  favorite colors to work with anymore....this quilt is all about our 25th anniversary so it is very sentimental.
