I have to admit that I am really having fun with Tonya’s free style letters. They are like potato chips. Once you get started you can’t stop. I have sat all other projects aside while I go with my ideas and these letters. Before I did the doghouses I did the Christmas quilt above. The stars are from Bonnie’s site http://www.quiltville.com. I loved how she had used the plaids. I have a huge stash of plaids and since our retreat theme this year (you can find out all the fun stuff planned via Linda’s blog http://www.tippeca-needle.blogspot.com) is “snowed in” using only your stash, I thought this would be a fun example. Once I finished the top I knew I needed to add some words to the border. “Love came down at Christmas, Stars and angels gave the sign”. Since I couldn’t stop at just one quilt I moved on to the doghouses. I am still going strong! Next quilt up is based on “Ham and Eggs – A day’s work for a chicken; A lifetime commitment for a pig”! I have a great chicken feed tea towel I bought in Paducah that I am also going to incorporate into this quilt. I can’t wait to get started!

Boy but that saying about the ham and egs just made me laugh out loud - the nicest wittiest thing I've heard all week!
Oh Laura! This is wonderful!!!! I love it! You are on a roll girl! I need to get to my letters yet, geez, I just can't with it, and now I have one more distraction! I'd rather play with chloe than sew! But that will wear off sometime I would guess!

What a fun Christmas quilt. Someone has been having a ton of fun. Keep it up.
I'm curious about the chicken feed tea towel... lol
Wonderful plaidy christmas quilt. I've never heard the ham and eggs quote before - very funny. Can't wait to see how it's all going to turn out.
Dynamic, as usual! Your sayings add so much to the whole presentation. I can hardly wait for Camp to get here . . . its going to be so much fun!
Aren't those liberated letters the greatest! Love what you've done with them and eagerly anticipate the ham and eggs quilt.
Great looking quilt, Laura! Love the saying. I cannot wait to see your "Ham and Eggs." That saying is way too cute!!!
