Finished : :

Finished!

Tonight is a very special night for me! I'll be handing out eleven of the quilts I've made this year to each of my children, nieces, and nephews. To say I'm excited doesn't even begin to describe it! Creating each of these quilts in a theme, color scheme, or pattern that fits each child and offering them as my way of showing how important they are to my life has been a huge honor. I hope they become something each of them will cherish for a lifetime!

Eleven Quilts!

Finished!!

I'll be back soon with the last two quilts I've yet to share here and I hope to take lots of photos to share tonight, as well! 

Wishing you all the very best until then!    Maureen

  6. How wonderful! I always have to make something handmade for gifts. For kids I love making pillowcases with a print that relates to one of their interests. For adults my go to gift is a pleated zippered pouch. However this year I made a load of tiny zippered pouches with swivel D rings (first time for me) and they were small. I am not very good with small pieces of fabric but they turned out sooo cute. I even managed the tiny boxed corners. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

  34. P. Noted, digs for the previous owner of Lotus! Bigger space with the same delicious Thai food you know and love! Similar menu with a couple of great new additions. On Sunday.. (Michael Kors Greenwich Bucket Bag Black)

    Coach Factory Outlet Leather Bags, When I look at the things that are being said and I'm not looking for it, it comes to me when I see that those things are being said, that's silly because, 'He said this, he said that, maybe Coach Saban said this,' Hurts told reporters Saturday. "Whoever said whatever. 'What did Jalen say?' Not a thing.".

    The key takeaways after this first look at the specs and photos: the X7 has the big space it needs to command a premium over the X5, but like the GLS, it sure is expensive. The XC90 T8 Plug In Hybrid is intriguing. The GLS and Discovery fuel economy disappoint. (Michael Kors Black Leather Bucket Bag)

    Labour have put two candidates up so Labour voters have an opportunity to give their third vote to me in order to keep the pro Capitalist UKIP out in Stansfield. The Liberals have put up, to everybody's suprise, a full stale here Joe Rez and two unknowns. A Green has also stood but will not go far, he is my ex Metalworks teacher from School.. (Michael Kors Leather Black Purse)

    White Coach Purse With Colored C's, I love coming to the Shoppes or Outlets whatever it is now called. Shopping here at Christmas time is nice and easy. Parking is hit or miss with getting a good spot on the side or walking from the lot.
