Sharing "Creative Goodness" Friday

The Shop Hop "Quilting on the Dry Side" is happening, through this Saturday. 

I don't get to go to all of the 10 shops, Nobody wanted to carpool this year.

Baker City, Halfway Oregon, Joseph  are just too far to drive alone.

 I have collected enough strips  to make a small Christmas Quilt.

Each shop gave me 4 - 2 1/2" strips.

I took pictures of each of the shops quilts when I visited.

I had to stop and check in with my MIL who spent some time in the Hospital last week.
She sent the quilt I made for her home with me.   :(
It's the "Jack of Hearts" Pattern I did as a Mystery with Heather Spence.

She wanted to make sure I got it before she is gone...
I sure Love her and Pray for her every Day!

My Quilty Christmas...

When cleaning and preparing for the Family to come last Saturday to Celebrate together...

I decided that I needed a little more "Christ" in my Christmas.

I have several Nativities I didn't get out this year.  

I wanted to share a few more with the family and my Blogging friends.

On the shelf is the first Nativity I bartered for when we lived in Mesa.

My Nativity Tree Skirt is on the Rocking chair, Purple Paper pieced Tree Skirt Lynn W. made, House & Tree Quilt from Christmas Around the World, corner of Christmas Postcard Quilt on couch.

Jim Shore Nativity on Table runner like the ones I made for my girls when I worked at Hancock's.

3 Nativities in the China Hutch on a Table Runner made by my DH's Sister Anne.
L-R from Wendy T, a Mini Water Globe Nativty, and silver Water Globe Nativity from Lynn W.

Pillow from Marg in Australia, Postcard quilt from Quiltmania Class.

 Mini Ornaments from Janet O hang above Nativity from Lynn W.

 I put my Wonky Tree Mini I made with Buttons on it to represent Symbols of Christmas above the sink in the Kitchen.

 My Christmas "Sarah's Star" SBS Swap quilt in the toy room.

I already showed the Christmas Lone Star on the Bed downstairs.
My Celtic Christmas Solstice has been on a Bed since Thanksgiving time at Brant & Tina's.

I think I need a few Mini Christmas Themed quilts to go under some of my Nativities.
I haven't counted lately low many TOTAL Nativities that I have collected.
It's nice to have something to Collect and surprising how many you acquire from friends who know you love them.

Thanks Bonnie for another Quilty Link-up this Christmas.  Click HERE to see more.

Wishing Everyone a very Merry, Quilty Christmas from our House to yours!
