Just before Christmas I made the next two blocks for the Patriots in Petticoats 2011 quilt. I'm really enjoying these fabrics. The blocks are pretty interesting too - they look somewhat challenging but are turning out quite well. I decorated the shop a little bit for Christmas too. This charming little feather tree is next to my desk. Nothing like a little bit of the past to enrich my modern life - love those historic reproductions, all kinds!
While we were all anticipating Christmas, it seems our dog/mascot just couldn't wait. One day while I was in the sewing room I heard a crunching of paper. Knowing that Andy is a prankster I grabbed my camera and headed for the living room. There he was, opening a present from under the tree! Of all the ones he could have chosen, he got the one with socks in it! How did he know? All in fun, no harm done, he has always loved tug of war with socks. I won this round....
My DH gave me two more books for my collection of the State Heritage Quilt Documentation projects - Mississippi and Washington State. So I'm up to 33 books on the subject. I'm really glad that Kentucky got this whole thing rolling - it's a wonderful tribute to the quilters of our past.
Just love the Patriots in Petticoats blocks, especially the top one! What a sweet dog. Looks like he had fun on Christmas morning!
