On The 25th Day of Christmas

Today is my 25th day of Christmas, it is also my 25th wedding anniversary. This year has brought some changes to my life so I won’t be celebrating this landmark with my husband but I do feel that there is much to celebrate. So my children and I are going out for a nice dinner tonight and celebrate that these 25 years brought them into my life and they are my true joy. I have learned that you never know from day to day what life is going to bring you but your true blessings are always there right beside you. I now know all who walk beside me. I wish you all a very happy holiday. I will see you here again after the New Year. Happiness to you all!

I love 2 color quilts and this oak leaf is a great example of one. And there is that willow tree border that I love so much. One more day to go....

On The 23rd Day of Christmas

Wouldn't this be the perfect room to spend Christmas Eve in!

On The 22nd Day Of Christmas

A true folk art applique quilt, quite whimsical!

On The 21st Day of Christmas

Breathtaking!!!! Look at that inside zig zag border and then the outside border, wow. This is a masterpiece example of a 4 block quilt.

On The 20th Day of Christmas

This is one of my all time favorite quilts. It is a crib quilt that Gwen marston made. I love how primitive it looks and how she did the swag border that doesn't connect. Truly a Gwen quilt and all the fabulous hand quilting. Ladies it would be so easy to reproduce the idea of this quilt by using one block of any 4 block pattern and creating your own border. I love, love, love this one!

A North Carolina Lily Quilt with that wonderful willow tree border.

On the 18th Day of Christmas

The pattern name for this quilt was Love Apple, I am in love with it!

On The 16th Day of Christmas

I can’t believe we are already up to 16 days and here I have another Princess Feather. I know this is my 3rd one but I just love this pattern and the colors in this one can’t be beat. I love the cheddar background.
Bonnie asked me how my move was going. We are all moved in and the house is much better with the furniture in it then it is without it. Once I get back to regular blogging I will ask for all your help on how to go from a nice sized sewing room to no sewing room at all.
Soon to be Ex has already moved a new partner into my old home. Here is the funny….she is a chef, GO figure! Riah and I are happily enjoying our microwave dinners in our new home. Thanks for asking Bonnie.

A Floral Baltimore Album Quilt, absolutely gorgeous.

On the 14th Day of Christmas

How about a blue and white snowflake quilt with willow trees around the borders. I sure do love those willow trees, I am sure it is why I saved a copy of this picture.

As to my last picture posted I have no idea where the original picture came from.

On The 13th Day of Christmas

Those who know me, know that this would be a favorite of mine just because if has a date smack dab in the middle of it. I am going to put my tree up this weekend, yes I said tree. My new place doesn't have room for 9 trees so we are only putting up one. It makes me kinda sad!

On The 12th Day of Christmas

We are almost half way there! I loved pieced quilts and the Tree of Life is a favorite. I like how this one has a random red triangle in most of the trees. The little red sashing strip just pulls it all together.

On the 11th Day of Christmas

This Christmas Cactus is awesome. Look at all the appliqued indentions on the leafs. It almost looks like blanket stitching they are so perfect. And all the small ones also. It looks like a simple quilt but had to be extremely difficult to applique.

On the 10th Day of Christmas

This Peony quilt is not really an antique but it is certainly a great reproduction. The quilting is just unbelievable.

Also this 10th day of Christmas is also my middle childs 18th Birthday, so a special Happy Birthday wish to T on his big day.

On the 9th Day of Christmas

Another Princess Feather. This is one of my favorite patterns. I love 4 block quilts and the border on this one is so fun. I can imagine the maker spending a long winter working on this.
