Merry Christmas!

It's beginning to look and smell like Christmas around our house......
Twinkle lights, carols, and baking my family favorites.

AND

Cranberry-White Chocolate Chip Cookies
And  .....


On top of all that decorating and baking I managed to get
 a little sewing time in.


My first attempt at a 2 fabric/color binding.
On the printed side of my flannel I attached a solid pink
and on the solid pink side it is printed.
Did that make sense?
I used these instructions but cut my binding strips 1/4" larger
to allow for the bulky flannel. 
It definitely takes a bit longer to prepare the binding
 but I love the effect on the quilt.
This is actually two pieces of flannel quilted and bound for a
Christmas present.
I can't wait to use this technique again.....
give it a try.


Here's a wool and cotton customer quilt I finished this week.
BEAUTIFUL!

The pattern is "Merry Christmas"
by Kathy Campbell of
Heart 2 Heart


Look at all the details!


WOW!


APPLE BUTTER HOUSE "Country Christmas"

Hope this finds you healthy and happy.
And not toooo stressed this holiday season.
