Merry Christmas!!!



I hope each of you had a wonderful Christmas!!!  It was a quiet day here, one with Mexican food as the theme, instead of ham or turkey.  Of course, I just had to makes pies!!  YUM! So enchiladas and PIE!

Above is my final border on this quilt.  I did not have enough for one color, so chose two pieces big enough to fit.  I love this quilt so much...the diagonals just draw me in.  I guess I love all quilts, don't I!!




I have been hand quilting this quilt.  Just two more rows to complete, and I have will have it all done. Hurrah!


I made a small pencil case for a friend at work.



Of course there is mystery quilt progress!  Above are all of my pieces and parts.  Bonnie Hunter has a mystery quilt each year, and it is such fun!

Lucky the kitty got a new ornament for the Christmas Tree.  Rather, his Christmas tree.




He really loves it!!  Bells...jingle....what is not to love for a sweet kitty?




Just look at those pupils, dilated and laser beam focused!



 One more picture of our sweet boy.  His fur is the softest velvet you can imagine.






Onward to a NEW YEAR!!  Wow!!

Good border choices, Julie. It works.
Kudos to you for making steady progress on that hand quilting.
Oh, that cat obviously is taken with that new, jingly ornament.
Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!

I really love the quilts Julie. Stars of any type are my favorite. The borders on the second one is sooo pretty. It looks fantastic with the stars. We had a quiet time at home also. And the enchiladas and pie sounds delicious.
