Ready to be gifted

My Log Cabin Star (Judy Martin’s Timberline) quilt is all ready to be given to my daughter and son-in-law. I finished sewing the binding on Thursday.

This was the one big item that I wanted to finish in 2024. I never thought it would take me right up to the end of the year to do so. 

I’m almost finished with my granddaughter’s I-Spy quilt. I finished the quilting and sewed the binding to the front. Yesterday, I embroidered the label. Today my slow stitching will be hand sewing the label and the binding to the quilt back . 

Our tree is all lit and decorated. 

Each year I like to try out a new cookie recipes from the hundreds that I have clipped over the years or are in my cookbooks. This year I made Confetti Logs from a 1991 clipping. Yes, you read that year correctly.

 They are tasty, but nothing special so the clipping will be trashed. What a shame to save something for so many years that wasn't worth it. I have to get around to trying more of my clipped recipes.

I added some stitches to the Woodland Babies birth announcement. The tree trunk is getting bigger and now has its heart. 

We had a little bit of snow on the grass yesterday. The weather is supposed to be bitterly cold the next few days so it may last until Christmas, but I won’t hold my breath.

I love when there is snow on the ground for Christmas. 

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanza! All these celebrations are this coming week. 

I am joining Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by!
