Finished little Christmas quilt

Hopefully, these will be the last photos I share of this little quilt.  I've started to feel like I just keep this blog so that I can receive compliments on my work.  Forgive me if it seems that way.  I only want to share my progress and my creative outlet, as I said before, missing my "in-person" quilting friends as I do.  Also, this absolutely serves as my journal to look back on to see what I was doing with this time of my life.
Having said that, this is the best photo I could get of the entire quilt, and yet, I still cut off some of it around the edges.
 And here's the back........it doesn't photograph well.  In person, it is quite scrumptious, with a wonderful happy feeling of red and white.......kind of like a Christmas candy cane.
 Here's my best out-of-doors shot.

And then, there's these.  Everyday when we walk, my husband and I are in awe of this big, gorgeous tree.  It's red on one side, and yellow and orange on the other.  He kept wanting a photo, and we almost waited too late.  Today when he saw that the leaves were gone already out of the very top, he insisted that we drive back down and grab a couple of photos.  I'm really glad that he did.  I love that man AND our walks, and Wow, the LORD sure paints a pretty picture !

The last of the beauties on our street.


No, this isn't my house, but I get to enjoy this beauty everyday !

  3. Hi Dolly: I came over from "A Few Scraps". I love how you have embraced the free motion quilt along. Your little quilt came out so nice. I love your feathers--that is what I want to ultimately be able to do too. I read some of your blog and you are my kind of quilt blogger, so you have a new follower. :)
