First Sunday of the NEW YEAR

Hello, Hello, Hello...........another new year is on it's way. I have decided to put the X-MAS decorations away next week due to the fact they were put up late.................I love the tree up but it is to big and takes a lot of space................I am going to purchase a small arti. one with lots of lights for my green house next year.........................and leave it up so at night it glows for all to see even if it is only me............I can see my green house from my bedroom windows and the look at night is just beautiful...............Now let me just say I am not one to work on a couple of quilts at a time, but reading on the blog I see some many of you do..................I had a burst of wanting to be creative and got our my next charm packs and started on my next creation.................this one is going to be a mixed bag something I really like to do........................I will try to keep you updated on the progress....................this is the center so far. The next thing I want to share is my little tree that I placed all my matchbox's from the last swap I was in. The photo's do no show the talent and craftmanship that went in from these 25 gals.................so please for give me............I am going to treasure these for many years to come.................THANKS AGAIN..........Next photo is of my quilt that I am currently quilting...............I am really doing a lot on this one..........yes I still do my own hand quilting.............As you can see the fabric on both quilts is from my favorite designer............FIG TREE QUILTS.......................Thanks for stopping by and thanks to many of you that have become new followers and thanks to those that are followers...................already..............have a great new week of the year. HUGS MARY

Your handquilting is lovely. I did hand quilting years ago but now do mine on the machine. Hand quilting is so much more artistic wish I had the patience.; January 4, 2011 at 9:02 AM
