Wow! We’ve arrived when we have a street named after us! This is an actual street in my husband’s hometown. I’ve always chuckled at having a street named after you and finally snapped a photo of this street sign after 20 years of visiting the in-laws.
My students are nestled in their homes working on quilts for their families. I’ll continue to write and design projects for my book, but at a slower pace, as I so enjoy making Christmas gifts for loved ones.
- My niece Emily gets a UGA dorm quilt
- My three-month old nephew Hamilton gets a baby blanket
- My kids and I will make ornaments for the tree
- And I get a new apron!
My favorite apron is one I made from Threads magazine years ago. It’s over twelve years old and I still use it every week. Threads had a great, simple pattern for this Bistro apron that I’ll be making for myself this season. Click on the slide show to see it.
We’ll be putting up our tree this week. Our holiday traditions include attending the Festival of Trees, which this year will be at the Atlanta History Center. David and I appreciate the handcrafted ornaments people lovingly make every year, and we’ve attended even before we had children.
Tonight I’m attending a reception for the Pine Needle Quilters’ Guild at Sew Memorable, where our challenge show is being exhibited. I’ll share photos with you later in the week.
