Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Well it's hard to believe that our holidays have come and gone already. I got so behind in my blogs as I was quilting till the wee hours on Christmas eve. Two weeks before Christmas I decided to make a band quilt for my grandson Noah who loves marching band. My friends from QOV (quilts of valor) suggested a design and I ran with it. After he received it, one of my kids said, "Mom, why did you put swatsikas on Noah's quilt.  Sure enough, there they were. He said he loves his quilt and don't change it and I feel like taking it apart and fixing it. I'm trying to figure out how I can change it. I also finished a quilt for my girlfriends husband who fought in Viet Nam and was wounded. So now I have been feeling like I need to be sewing so I came up with two projects that I have been meaning to do for years and I do mean years. One is a wall hanging of a Christmas tree and the ornaments are pictures of Christmases through the years. I printed all these pictures on fabric and they actually survived the fire so it was meant to be for sure. The other project is the Choir of Angels mantelpiece which I put on our blog. Then I will have them by next Christmas! Be sure and pop into Allpeoplequilt.com. They have some great organizing tips. I definitely need to go there and read them. Will this be the year I finally get organized? Who knows but it definitely will be another year of trying to get organized. Send me your organizing tips so we can share with everyone. Until next time ladies....happy quilting! Don't forget to check out Noahs quilt.
