My alarm went off early but, I went right 
back to sleep.

A Notebook cover pattern for me and a set of Cutco
 Prunes for Paul.

Day 24
A Cutco trowel for him and a basket from Africa 
From the Jenny Box.

Day 25
A lumbar pillow for DH and a Magnetic, rotating rack for me.

We were spoiled with gifts to unwrap.
This is some of the gifts I gave! 
Paul got a New Robe and Chocolates. 
Our Favorite kind.

My Sister has waited since 2014 for this day.
I sewed all day on the Eve of Christmas Eve.
I heard my momma saying, Get it done!
I put it in a Pillowcase.

Folded in half, it fits across their big bed.
I will get it Quilted soon!!

For my two recently married grandchildren, I made these Chandelier Christmas Quilts 
Elizabeth and Michael's needs to be Quilted.

Coy and Alisa went to Vegas on their Honeymoon. Not sure if they opened Christmas gifts yet. 

We were invited to our Youngest Daughter's for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for dinner.
So nice to not travel far on Christmas. 
She is so much more Happy this year.

I worked today on Part 5, Part six is printed.
It's great when little 9 patch block parts fit together almost perfectly.

Happy FriYay

Happy FriYay!

 Today I get to quilt with my friend!
Her dad's getting his Train Quilt this year.
It only took Magic!
Ta- Done!!!

It's fun to learn more about my Q20 machine.
I was loopy yesterday, forgot what I learned before.
A YouTube helped remind me what to do. 
Let's Quilt!!

I only need to bind the Christmas Chandelier Quilt 
For next week's wedding. 
I love the Zigzag baggy border. 
Had to find a green to match.
 Not enough left for the binding.

I got part of my Living room tree decorated.

It's been awhile since I used my CATW
Rose/ Pearl Garlands.
This one was 1988 or 89in Umatilla.

This was around 1996 in Burbank. 

And here in Walla Walla 2005 or 06

There are different Angels on top. 
And a Cardinal to remind me my momma is watching over me.

I WON some fabric and a pattern in Robin Ruth's

Happy FriYay.
