VAL, I know you can do it and your blocks will be amazing! Everything you do is.

LORI - love all those pretty ornaments! Lori Holt's patterns are the cat's pj's!

MARY ROSE - I know your blocks will be stunners, too! All this plus a full-time job. You rock!

TINA - I feel for anyone involved in schooling of any kind this year - kids, parents, teachers, and GRANDparents! and even as I typed this line, my phone dinged with a news blurb that our county just changed up the schooling requirements here, too!

I finished my blocks but apparently wasn't finished with my Christmas sewing spirit so last week I started cutting out a 38" project by Kimberbell called "We Whisk You a Merry Christmas" - all baking themed applique. For my younger DGS who is a professional chef/baker. It will probably go into the trailer with me for a winter project when we go south. I just don't see me finishing it for this Christmas. But I can't wait to get into it!

Maryz, I'm in the Christmas quilt making spirit too. I finished one quilt top, and cut out a second from a kit. Then ordered another Christmas quilt kit from QIAD. Guess what people are getting for Christmas this year? lol

Hi all! Sorry I went missing for a few days, I got so busy and forgot to stop by.
I'm washing dogs again today, we're about at our wits end with whatever is wrong with them. I tried getting a hold of the vet Friday but no luck, this is a new very for us so I'm not sure when surgery days are... that might've been why.
You all are rocking your blocks! Love seeing and hearing about them all ❤❤
Tina
