Hi all,
My husband and I are at his parents’ house in northern northern northern California for Christmas. Boy it’s a long haul from home in Colorado, but it’s beautiful here even though we’re missing a White Christmas at home. I’ve got meringue mushrooms for another buche de noel in the oven at the moment, and the turkey is fixin’ to go on the grill.
I finally finished all of the aprons for my Mom, my sister-in-law, and my mother-in-law.
The former two will be given after we get back home, and the latter of which was graciously received and currently in service in the kitchen during turkey prep.
This is also a quilt
I made for my father-in-law from Amy Karol’s book, Bend-the-Rules Sewing.
This is my third quilt from this book that I’ve made. I love it. Simple. Unintimidating. Just something that I needed to launch me into real quilt making (I’ve always ever made yoyo quilts by hand…I have one in the works which has been put on hold for the time being.). I made one for my Dad too, but it’s at home. I’ll post a pic when I’ve put the binding on.
Until then, I hope that everyone who may or may not be out there reading this have a safe and wonderful Christmas. Hold your family tight, enjoy the day, and remember that this is the day we celebrate Christ’s birth–God in the flesh cleverly disguised as a wee tiny baby who would grow into the man who would make the ultimate sacrifice for all of our sins.
Blessings,
~E
