Stockings...

...and the stockings were hung by the chimney with care.

Toby's Christmas Coat. Ho Ho Ho!

As soon as I saw the fabric this idea came to mind. Believe it or not he doesn't mind wearing the coat.

Fall Raffia Wreath

It's a good thing we have until December before we are "allowed" to post photos of the next fabric. That means my post is not late. :) I finished this project a while ago but finally found time to put my photo up here. I cut the fabric into strips and wrapped it around a wreath form, and then wrapped it again with a string of raffia. It was fun to have up for Thanksgiving, but it's coming down shortly to make way for Christmas decorations. I hope everyone has a calm and peaceful Advent season!

Thanksgiving Update

FYI: I filled the "treat bags" with stickers for each of the four kids. They had fun with them for the next 24 hours before they went home. Funny thing? They left the fabric squares behind. I just might make a few potholders for next Thanksgiving.

Fabric #3

I gave my sister the new fabric quite awhile ago. I just sent three of them today since I was on a trip to the post office anyway. Two won't receive theirs until Thanksgiving, and Karen... I'm sorry, you won't get yours until it is hand delivered slighty after Thanksgiving.

So, to even the playing field, I'm going to encourage you all to take your time and not post anything until December. I'm assuming fabric #4 will arrive sometime after Christmas if we keep up with the month-and-half rate we seem to be going. I'm also going to TELL YOU what it looks like. If you don't want to know, I guess don't read this.

It's a red, red flannel.

Coasters and another potholder - you can never have too many!!

I can always use another potholder, so the latest fat quarter turned into a potholder and coasters. My husband's aunt gave me similar coasters several years ago and I always wanted to know how she made them...it took a little searching but I found the instructions here:

They were fun to make - I will probably make more of them!
Looking forward to the next fabric!
