Happy Holidays and a few last minute finishes........

a couple of Dish Soap Aprons
by Camille Roskelley from Thimble Blossoms
It is a free tutorial on her blog 'Simplify'.
It was her project for the Moda Country Fair Blog Hop.
...adorable!!

the snowman embroidery is from
Bird Brain Designs's pattern
'Holiday Nine-Patch RedWork'

and I'll keep one for me





a pillow case and pillow for DGD Rylee Jane's bed.....
I used the fabrics to match her bed quilt
Snippets by American Jane.
The center of the pillow is an embroidery pattern by Tasha Noel. 
You can find her blog 'alittlesweetness' and Etsy shop HERE.
She has the sweetest patterns....
and


a toss pillow for DGD Leah's bed to go with the Wonky Log Cabin pillow
I finished last month....



...made a hugh batch of  nuts and bolts. I used my
Mother-in-law's recipe with a few modifications.....
and a few old "Made in Canada" Crown canning jars.
The dates stamped on the bottom of the jar are all in the early 50's.
Thanks Mom...luv the jars they make great containers.



I've still got a few WIP's (Works in Progress) but not needed for
Christmas gifts.



The tea towels are traced with the free pattern by Bird Brain Designs,
the small table mat is an iron on transfer and
the redwork embroidery is the centre of another pillow.
The embroidery pattern is available at 'alittlesweetness'.
Check out her Etsy shop, it is full of sweetness.....(o:

....but I'm still working on a Christmas gift....  
...a quilted teddy bear for my DGS, Kyler.
There is no picture yet and I will not be seeing him until sometime on Monday
so I think I can do this......I'm going to work on it now.....it's about half finished.

Wishing you and your families

the Merriest Christmas with family, friends, good food and laughter.....

the warmth and goodwill of the season....

and a new year filled with good health and happiness.
