The Week Before Christmas

I had a huge Quilt, a queen size, due on Christmas Eve (I will post these pictures after Christmas, for obvious reasons). As time was getting down to the wire, panic set in, but I did get it finished. I even took time out to go to a Paint Class at Five Friends in Selma AL, where several people painted a cute "Jingle My Bells" picture. This one is mine.


This was really a lot of fun. After making candy and baking goodies all day it was nice to take a break and sit and enjoy the company of the group.


No Bake cookies


Walter's favorite Butterscotch Chocolate


Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Coconut Pecan Cookies

Papa's Divinity

Trays were made and the Kitchen cleaned up.

Then I had a few people drop off last minute Embroidery Gifts to be finished. One of the really GREAT things about having an Embroidery Machine and a Sewing Machine is the ability to sew and embroidery at the same time. I usually have both machines going at the same time.



This is a Velour Jacket with  a Standard Poodle that was a special order.




The jacket turned out perfect. This is a friends business design. She and two other ladies have those beautiful large poodles. I have attached a link to her business. They do a such a job.

I wrapped mountains of gifts and played Holly Jolly Blog Bingo at http://the-quilt-shoppe.blogspot.com/, which is still going on. What a busy week and what fun. This afternoon and tomorrow I plan on relaxing and enjoying a wonderful Christmas Eve gathering with Family. I hope your Christmas Holiday is a wonderful one. Merry Christmas to you and your Family.
