Merry Christmas Quilt . . . . .

This is what I have finished so far with the project I picked for the day.

Here is the pattern I am making it from .....

As usual, the colors look better in person than they do in a picture.  I have come inside from the Wool Barn to have some lunch and start the handwork.  

I have a feeling that I will be asleep in no time since it's raining outside and Dear Hubby is watching the PGA Championship on TV!  Just love lazy Saturday afternoons.

Announcement . . . . .

Sue has asked me to mention today that she will have a Beauty Parade of the Festive Mystery quilts!  It will take place during Sue's turn to hostess in December.

So get those sewing machines humming today and finish up your top.  Or in my case, I will be printing out the directions today and hopefully cutting.

 And what's a post without a picture......

Okay, I'm up, I'm up . . . . .

Just yelling at myself....

It was like a revolving door last night with people coming home at different times and each time they did, the dogs went crazy, waking me up again.

So while I take a quick shower and put on some coffee, I'll leave you with some pictures of Christmas Quilt Along pasts.

I'll be back in a bit to go around and visit soon!

PS.  The Christmas cookie story and recipe is located HERE.

Let's get started . . . . .

It should be early, early on Saturday morning in the U.K.  I'm still asleep and those on the Pacific coast may not have even gone to bed yet on Friday night.

I'm putting Mr. Linky up, hoping that this post will go up as scheduled so that you can go ahead and start this month's Christmas Quilt Along when you are ready.

So go ahead and grab your cuppa (whether it is coffee, tea or hot chocolate), put on some Christmas music, turn the iron on and let's get started. 

I'll meet you in the sewing room soon!

Blessings, Cathi

I'll be there . . . . .

As many of you know, I co-hosted the Christmas Quilt-A-Long with Sue at Quilt Times last year.

This year, all I had to do was hang out with everyone on the second Saturday of the month and quilt something Christmas-y, visit blogs, play the games, host just ONE month, etc.  But did I do any of that?

NNNOOO!

Again this year as with last, I either had a show, or a family get-together (which I had no control over) or something happened that kept me from not only playing along, but even getting in to blogland.

When Sue emailed me last week to see if I even still quilted, I assured her that I would still host this month.

With all that said, THIS SATURDAY is the next Christmas Quilt Along and I will definitely be here.

I already have my project picked out (the one on the left).

I hope you can join me!  

Blessings, Cathi
