A quilt for a veteran in a homeless shelter

A manly quilt for a veteran in a homeless shelter.  Sandra asked us to pick out some fabric and make a quilt top. 62 x 92.  Mine measures 64 x 100.  Not thrilled with it but it's done!

 

Belated Christmas Breakfast and my decorations

Pineapple upside down cake from Kevin and sausage balls from Amy.

Ron - looking good at 78!

I wanted to remember my Christmas decor for next year.  Will I remember to look at these photos???

Christmas Cookies at Amy's house

My cookies are the eight on the lower right.

Amy has had a lot of practice.

Jennifer made some very nice ones.  She's a perfectionist!

Camden joined us but no picture!  It was fun to hang out with all of them - very relaxed!  Yummy chicken salad for lunch!

Gifted runner to Lee and table topper to Janet.

We made these ornaments at Sew Many Blessings Christmas Party.  Very labor intensive!

I finished this quilt for Barbara McNeil, a stranger who came to guild requesting someone who could finish it for her.  If turned into a labor of love for me which she paid for handsomely ($300).

Me and Barbara McNeil -she was thrilled to finally have it finished.  It was started in a block of the month class in the 1990's.  Life happened - finally finished in 2022!
