Merry Christmas from my family to yours...

Candy Plate

We were given a candy plate for a Christmas gift....  a plate made of candy.

I think I will make a few of these next years for gifts.  

Christmas Tablerunner

I started this table runner in July.  I finally put the finishing touches on it today.

Set of Criss Cross Hot Pads

I am finishing up my quilts and still have TONS of fabric leftover (a large rubbermaid box full to over flowing).

I decided to use up some of the scraps and make some hot pads.  With the holidays almost here I want to have some quick wrap items on hand.  (They also make nice hostess gifts).

Each of the hot pads are about 7 1/2 inches square.  

Here they are close up....

The beauty of these hot pads are quick to put together.  I think I will make a few more of these.... I might even make a couple for myself.

Quilt Progress-- Lots of Pink

Last Sunday I finished up the back and middle of two of my Christmas quilts.  I still have to sew the binding.  I have about 6 quilts to sew the binding on... you should see the pile of quilts!!  It is overwheming!!

Here are my two pink quilts....

I cleaned up the edging and added the binding....

The binding matches the backing fabric.  This will be a wild quilt!

I made a dolly picnic blanket/little girl quilt....

Here I am attaching the binding.  You can see the other quilt as well.  

The back is a soft peach color.  It doesn't look like it matches but there is actually lots of peach in the blocks in the quilt (just not the dominate color).

I am still crossing my fingers that I get all of  the Christmas quilts done and binding secured in time for Christmas. 

Felt Mini Stockings

When I was little we had mini stockings to hang on the tree with our names on them.  I wanted to make a bunch of them for gift tags for Christmas gifts.

I cut out the stockings using Martha Stewart's mini stocking template.  Click here to see the template.

Then I glued them together. I use the sparkly glitter glue for the cuff.  I tried writing people names on them but it didn't work.

Instead I ended up doing a glittery border around the cuff

Each gift gets a felt stocking to hang on their tree for next year.
