Glimpse of Christmas

 This is something we got for Christmas.  Thanks to Jeanine for the beautiful Amaryllis. 

UFOs to a Cause

Disappearing 4 patch

 I have been wanting to clean out some of my UFOs (Unfinished Objects in quilting), and Isaac came up with the idea of an Eagle Scout project to donate quilts to the Children's hospital.  So, a perfect match:  tops donated!  And then Dawn will have to quilt them, and Isaac gets lots of work to organize them all, and get binders, etc.  So here are some of the tops that are out of my house now!  Yeah!!

A Bonnie Hunter pattern

Heartstrings

Leftovers from the Bonnie Hunter quilt

Nine patches from an exchange, with corner Maverick stars

Patriotic Heartstrings

Extra Bug jar blocks, now used.

It is wonderful to clean out some things, and fun to put these together.  Thanks, Isaac!

Polar Express and Cupcake Flurry

I was asked to chair a committee to plan and execute the church Christmas party.  I must say, I asked some excellent people to be on the committees, and they came through royally!  The poster to advertise, the tickets to invite (and bring to be punched),

 and the decorating!  It was well done, with an engine in the front,

 and a caboose in the back from which we served the hot chocolate and marshmallows. 

 We served 300 people hash browns, french toast with many topping choices, and then dessert was a Cupcake Flurry! 

Aren't they pretty?  It was fabulous and everyone seemed to enjoy the meal, program, and all.  Yeah for plans that go well.
