I have all the Christmas decorations put away, but I just noticed this on the wall in my kitchen.
Well that won't do! So I had a look in my quilt kits basket and found this one.
There is a blizzard here today and all the roads coming into our town are closed, so I got started right away. Can't wait to finish this one. So perfect.
Till next time. Thanks for visiting.

Finishing Topper From Last Year
In November of last year, I started a small topper to mix in with my Christmas decorations. Well I didn't get it finished in time so I'm trying to get it done for next year. I used two charm packs of Midwinter Reds by Minick and Simpson. Just a few more to go and I can start piecing it together.
I think I will just go with the red and white charm squares. There are a few tan fabrics in the bundle, but I think I just want to finish this one. The churn dash blocks are 31/2 inches, and the seams in the blocks are pressed open. I got the pattern from http://www.cupcakesndaisies.com/search/label/Lil%20Churn%20Dash%20blocks Thank you so much Thelma. I love them and they were so easy with your tutorial.
Thats it for today. I start back at work today after some time off at Christmas.
Have a great day and thanks for visiting.

Happy New Year 2014
Well it sure has been awhile. I thought I might try to post more on my blog this year. It's a great way for me to remember what happened during the year, my memory is not what it used to be. I also would LOVE to quit smoking, if I can live with myself. Just going to take one hour at a time and see how it goes. There is always the patch to help get me over the bumps in the road. I have a wonderful husband, children and grandchildren that I want to enjoy for a long time. I will post the day I begin.
This year we have had a lot of work done around the house. Believe me, it was time.
New windows.
Kitchen counter before
Kitchen counter after
New roof (you will just have to take my word for that. No way I'm climbing up there for a photo.
Hopefully it will be a year filled with quilting, relaxing and smokefree. Okay just trying to think positive.
Have a great day and thanks for visiting.
