My grandson, Cooper,age 10, announced this yesterday after the last present was unwrapped. Sounds like a long time, but wouldn't it be great to get started now on next year's Christmas quilts and gifts? That's exactly what we're doing here at KTQ with projects for our new Warm Memories line. Not quite done with all the wool ornaments yet, but our feather tree Advent Calendar is progressing nicely. I just need a couple more ideas for ornaments. What is a favorite motif of the holidays at your house? There's also a lap size quilt of the feather tree with the cotton ornaments stitched on at the quilter. I'll have a picture when Lori sends it back next month.
Congrats to the winner of the Perennials charm pack & pattern - BillieBee from TX. Hope you enjoy our new fabric and pattern.
We just received the new 108" backing fabric last week. It will be available on our website by the 1/2 yard (2 yard minimum) later this week. It's on my list of things to do while I'm not working this week :).
Thank you all for following my blog this last year and for sharing your comments. One of my resolutions to post more often now that I have an iPad. We'll see.....
The advent calander is great, I love it. How about peppermint candy or a candle. Happy New Year.

Great looking advent calendar. Poinsettia, reindeer, gingerbread man, manger, nutcracker, angel, - just a quick thought.
ReplyDeleteLove wall hanging and I realized this year, that I have to start now, for next year. There is never enough time to finish things, so I plan on making christmas items all year, so I will have my decorations made in time. Can't wait to see what new things you come up with.

I’m impressed, I need to say. Really hardly ever do I encounter a weblog that’s each educative and entertaining, and let me inform you, you've hit the nail on the head. Your concept is excellent.
ReplyDelete364 days before Christmas? Happy New Year then.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winner of the Perennials charm pack & pattern. Hope you enjoy our new fabric and pattern.
