WINTER SOLSTICE FINISH


                              ALL BLOCKS QUILTED (as you go) ; TRIMMING NEXT!!

Our Winter Solstice here on SE CT Coast will be at 11:48 this evening--(I'm pretty sure I will
be asleep when Mr. Sun begins his journey back....but you never know)...

I have to tell you: I made a BOO-BOO and opened tomoroow's present as well as today's
Ye Olde Brain FORGOT that I already opened TODAY's...aaargh--so here is my pix..
(Can you forgive me, Dawn?? lol)

I love that orange--I will use it for  my label on the back--
and look at the lovely Christmas  fabric--(that is tomorrow's!!  oops!!)













AND

MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!!
TO ALL OF YOU....{HEART} YOU ALL.....

HUGS,

DAYS: 6, 7 & 8

     DAYS 6 AND 7 :"...SEVEN  SWANS A'SWIMMING, SIX GEESE A LAYING..."

Two lovely fabrics--my southwest collection is growing and my scanty plaids will be improved.

AND TODAY:

                                              SEE---"EIGHT MAIDS A MILKING.."
WHAT A LOVELY TABLEMAT--it goes so well with my bowl, don't you think???

AND Here's to you, Dawn;   My DH thanks you ;--))), too.  Prosit!!

                                               
I am still working on my circles each day (haven't dropped out as yet...but to be honest, have thought about doing that--); and still quilting away on Steven's blocks...I have 11 done.....9 more to go.

I can only quilt on 2-3 before my eyes go wonky,....

I also am re-arranging (again,-- big surprise!! lol) my long cutting table into two parts: one for just cutting (and NOT for piling stuff on it , heh heh) and the other for my scrapbooking..


.I still have to move a lot of stuff (stuff and more stuff and those pesky "itsy-bitsy things) so that I can FIND what I have and what I need will be "to hand".

It got cold here this morning--31 degrees and very windy will a windchill of 28+/-; it'll be a
 c-o-o-ld walk --betcha we'll be moving faster than usual --ya think?

hugs to you all --I will be wrapping today
