Partridge and a Pear Pattern

Are you thinking about the 12 Days of Christmas? I can't help but think about it with these adorable ornaments. You can find the directions HERE.

Be Attitudes Quilt

My "Be Attitudes" Quilt is finally finished! I am so glad to have it done before the Holidays! It is a quilt that will be used more for teaching! When I first saw this quilt, I fell in love with the quilt squares, one for each month and of course the "Be Attitudes"! This quilt pattern/design is by Nancy Halvorsen. I love her patterns. This pattern has been out for a couple of years.

My favorites- Be grateful and Be Joyful! Can you believe only 49 days until Christmas? WOW!

Welcome November

I laugh at these signs! "Quilting that crazy thing we do" is my favorite. Sometimes, I ask myself-Why am I cutting all this fabric up, only to sew it all back together? It truly is the crazy thing we do! Although, in the end, we have a masterpiece, a keepsake, and a story to tell. Every quilt has a story, a journey, much like life.

I will soon be done with a quilt that I started a few years ago. It has required a lot of workmanship, so it has taken over two years to complete. I can't wait to hang it in my home. It is a quilt that I hope my children will appreciate and take to heart! I'm going to hang in where they see it everyday! It is a quilt that reminds us to be Grateful, kind, loving, happy and all the qualities we want our children to have.
