Merry Christmas December 2011

I hope every one has a wonderful Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. Thank you to all of my friends that have asked me to quilt their quilts this year. It has been a lot of fun and the quilts I've seen this year were fantastic. I appreciate the opportunity to be part of your quilting life and an am privileged to not only quilt such beautiful quilts, but have so many quilting friends.

The colors in this quilt that Collette made are so great. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Delia put this sweet quilt together for a friend. It is a memory quilt, made from the clothes of a dear relative.

This is Delia's Christmas candle quilt. The pattern is one of Kathy's from Lavender Lime and Delia's choice of fabrics made it truly elegant.

Jayne made this really beautiful French Braid quilt. It turned out so cute and the fabrics are wonderful.

Janice made this lovely quilt. It is one of my favorites.

Hazel made this very large photo quilt for someone else and it really turned out great! The photos and the design of the quilt were great.

Since it's Christmas, I must post some pictures of my kitties in their Santa hats. Usually Bentley (the white cat) is a ham when it comes to having his picture taken. I guess he didn't care for the new Santa hat this year. Finnegan is curious as to what that thing is on his head.

Nicholas is not particularly fond of the hat either--but he's tolerating it.

Finnegan thought something had him by the head and isn't budging with that hat on his head. He looks so happy! Poor kitty.

This is a picture of Jonathan in his Christmas garb from a previous Christmas. Unfortunately he didn't make it to this Christmas. He passed away on Dec. 20th of renal failure. He was almost 15, which is very young for our cats to pass away. He was so sweet and never a problem kitty. He slept with us every night and loved his tummy rubs. We called him Johnny Bear because he looked like a little black bear when we rescued him. Sweet boy we will miss you!
