Preparations

I have been busy preparing for Christmas. 

 I decided to put all my vintage Christmas ornaments in the wooden bowl Mr. P. made for me last Christmas instead of on the tree this year. I think they look very special in the bowl.

 Yesterday Mr. P. and I went to the mountains to pick out our tree.  It is all decorated and it looks so pretty all lit up with tiny white lights. This photo is some of the trees at the farm.

 Along the way to the Christmas tree farm I spotted three barn blocks.

 I have also had the binding prepared for this quilt. Half of the binding is sewn on. This was a free embroidery sew along from Clover and Violet.

 I had my friend Laura do the quilting on this one. She does this fabulous work on her home sewing machine.

 Laura used variegated thread even though it is hard to tell in the photo. Look at the little meandering she did in the white part of the blocks.

Thanks Laura for doing fabulous job on my quilt. You should go by her blog and see the latest quilts she has done. 

One day I would also like to prepare fabrics to make this quilt one day. I won this book in a giveaway on Sinta's blog. It has some really pretty quilts in it but this one on the cover is my favorite. Thanks Sinta!

I am also busy preparing for other things that are going to take me away from blogging for a while. I hope to be back after Christmas. I wish you all Christmas Blessings!

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
