Oh---one day at a time.
Wanted to post one of my Christmas projects. Again, not a good photo....
The first photo is of my Christmas tree skirt. I made two of them and really liked the outcome.
I have also been working on a Bonnie Hunter Mystery Quilt -- Celtic Solstice. I am in the process of finishing the top. This is a photo of the quilt before sewing together. I will also all three borders to this quilt. I love the way the circles are created. Looks like the difficult quilt that it is. Sure hope the quilt police do not come after me. Sonny has claimed this quilt and it will go on our bed and not many will ever see it.
Since this is my blog and not Facebook, I can say just this and not hurt any one's feelings -- one lady who had made this quilt, commented on Facebook her mother said this was the ugliest quilt she had ever seen. I have loved each quilt made from this pattern and posted on the Celtic Solstice Facebook page. I can say my mother nor my mother-in-law nor my grandmother would have ever said that to me or anyone. In fact, no one in my family would think of uttering a negative, hurtful comment as that. I am so thankful to have a loving Christian family. I am my own worst critic.
True story--we had a visiting preacher eating dinner with us. He was rather a funny man who was always teasing and having a little fun. He showed my grandmother a horrid picture of a smiling, toothless woman and claimed her to be his wife. Without hesitation, my grandmother said, "Well, isn't she sweet!"
