Another Christmas finish

 Hello There!

This was my first Christmas without Daddy (yes, at 63 years, I still call him Daddy LOL!).  I started so many holiday projects, but didn't have the heart to finish them.  I'm on a mission to get them done as they are certainly making a mess out of my sewing room!  

I realize this blog is 1 Xmas Item a Month, but I have another quick finish to share.  I hope you all don't mind if I share here more often than once a  month!  :)

While visiting my local quilt shop, I fell in love with a vintage Christmas ornament panel.  Last month I hand stitched some beaded accents on about half of them and this week I finally took them over the finish line. 


This week I'm hoping to finish another quick project. My sewing room is bursting with all the projects I started last month.  The clutter is driving me nuts! 

Take good care!

A Gift For Mama

January 2026

Happy New Years to all!

It does seem like it’s been a while since anyone has posted, to include myself.  My precious daddy, yes at 62. I still call him daddy, became very ill and eventually passed in August 2025.

The annual ornaments I make for my grandchildren were late, but I am hoping to finish the last one this month.  I’ve decided I’ll start making their ornaments at the beginning of the year because life happens and I don’t want to disappoint them.  Here is my progress thus far.  






I did, however, make my mama this quilted Christmas tree.  The easy tutorial is by Petra at Creative Decor



Take good care and happy stitching!
