It's Beginning to Look~~

~~quite festive at my house! My mini and blocks from Bingo-Bonnie arrived on Friday! :-) And I was so surprised by Bonnie's mini! I love it! And it fits perfectly on my hall hanging rod. :-))

Bonnie sent the label separately (the cute little embroidered tree), so I need to pull out a needle and get it attached, but I just had to hang it up right away! LOL Thanks Bonnie!!

She also sent another 12 blocks for our block swap. In case I haven't mentioned it lately, we are swapping MyBlueHeaven blocks from QuiltersCache. We did re-size the pattern for our quilts, and we decided to have all the larger HST's with blue and the smaller ones scrappy. I am loving how all of our blocks are turning out! This will be a quilt for the new year. :-)

Thanks for visiting with me and until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!

I love that you and Bonnie are making quilts together!! You are both so talented and busy with this craft - I love to see your works. And it's fun to be making something together - and I really like the blk you both chose.

Ahhh, I hear I might have some time to myself next year - the hours at work will not be full time, at least for awhile, but boy I miss seeing you in action. And the insperation I get from you..... Thanks for the post, and thanks for being you. ;-)

I remember this tree quilt from the Designer's 12 Days of Christmas - Bonnie did such a nice job on this - how thoughtful of her to send it to you.

You're so right, the blocks are turning out beautiful!!

Merry Christmas and may your holiday wishes be made memorable.

God Bless.

Oh glad I peeked in and see that it arrived in time for Christmas!!! I didn't know how long it was going to take.

I'm happy that you like it ;) and I must have dropped a button that failed to get sewn on - b/c there were suppose to be 25 - so you can count down to Christmas... not sure how to attach?? but somehow attach candy and then take off one a day..?

Just an idea. And Cindy was right - the pattern was from the Free pattern that Gudrun shared during the first day of a recent Christmas Blog Hop :)

if you want to share the link to the tutorial - here it is: http://gudrun.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/11/ccc-blog-hop-day-1.html

Merry Christmas & Love from Kentucky! ~bonnie

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
