MERRY CHRISTMAS

Every year I say I’m going to make things to give to friends. This year I came as close as I’ve ever gotten: I made one Christmas card. How’s that for achievement? I’m so ashamed! Anyway, here it is. I have some ideas swirling in my head to try in 2012. I’ll show you the one I carry through on (maybe) this time next year.

I also just completed embellishment on a 4”x 6” block for a RR I’m in. This block belongs to Arlene White in Australia.

I’ll let these two pieces be my last post before Christmas as they are the only holiday things I’ve finished. Have a glorious holiday season!!

Also, my website will be closed until after New Year’s Day.

    Your card is wonderful but it looks like a lot of work! The square is devine! Love the layout and your wonderful ribbon work wreath!

    Beautiful block!
    Anyway, you have made something for Christmas. I have made nothing. Every year around 15th of december, I wish to make all sorts of things, but I realise I'm to late to finish anything.
    May be next year ;)

    Both are great examples of beautiful cq. I think I'm going to try to do one Christmas thing each month this year and see how that works.

    Denise Felton at Needlework News pointed me here. I, too, would love to know how you made that gorgeous wreath. Is it loosely ruched in two shades of green with beads added? However it was done it is very lovely. Lucky Arlene.
