Merry Christmas to All

 

There was a time when I purchased a live Christmas tree and a live wreath every year. But it's warm in Florida, and every year the needles would be falling off days before Christmas ever got here. We finally broke down and got a fake tree and wreath. I decorate the wreath with live Baby's Breath, so it looks like snow. My tree is now 2 foot tall and holds only miniature ornaments. At my age, that is the extent of my decorating.

                    Merry Christmas everyone.

Vintage Valentine

 Back in 2006, I went a little crazy and signed up for a block of the month. I really enjoyed making the blocks, but it was just a bit expensive for me.

This piece is the largest of them all, measuring 29 1/2" wide x 30" long.

 The pieces have been sitting since then and I seriously doubt that I'll ever quilt it. So, one by one I will be listing the parts and hope that someone loves it as much as I once did.

Shamrocks Appliqued Quit Blocks

 With Christmas fast approaching, I don't know of any quilter who would start a Christmas quilt. So, may I suggest starting a St. Patrick's Day quilt.

Fabric Postcards

 

Miniature quilts that are mailable with only a first-class stamp. It's an interesting way to say Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday or just plain Hello. There are many to choose from in my shop.

A Haunted Birdhouse

 

Warblers

 

I have been feeding wild birds for many years. There has always been blue jays and doves with an occasional Florida parrot. It was so very exciting to me when a Cardinal showed up. But all of a sudden, two weeks ago, 4 little green birds decided to pig out at my feeder. I believe they are warblers, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong. In addition to these sweet little green birds, there is also a Painted Bunting that has been showing up regularly. From all that I have read, they are migrating to South America, but I think they have found a home on my feeder, because they are there morning, noon and early evening.
