A Few Projects
My MIL gave me a large bag of fabric scraps recently. Among the treasures was this project that she started years ago but never completed. I was so excited to take this one on! She had some nine patch blocks completed and lots of squares cut out. I never knew how much fun it could be to sew 1.5" squares together! Here are 92 blocks, complete at 3.5"! I have many ideas regarding these blocks; stay tuned, for I will post more in 2011!
Have you ever seen this book? It has the most adorable projects, all made from socks!
Daughter had a nice pair of knee high socks that sprung a hole in the toe. What to do? Make a snake and a chipmunk! So cute, and they go together so easily! I highly recommend the book!
The house is all decorated for Christmas. I did something different this year. This is my china hutch; I emptied it of the teapots and instead have made a little display in honor of my two sisters. One collects nutcrackers; the other was passionate about snowmen. So I honor both of them by displaying my meager tributes to each one's collection.
I collect carolers. Here are a few on my piano. I need to find a tall lampost and maybe a tree or two to fill in the space! (Next year, maybe!)

The dog is a hoot!!
I love those little 9 patches. I have been working on a few of those myself.
If you have a chance to check out McCall's Quilting magazine...America Loves Quilts...Winter 2010/2011. They have a super cute pattern on page 42 call Nine Patch Fondant that is all 3 1/2 inch patches!!
Awww,,,poor cute little Rosey!
That sock book looks interesting. I've been wanting to learn how to make sock monkeys, they're a classic.
I put a quilt of scraps together (you scored big, by the way) and quilted it with my old buttons it turned out really cute. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Your home looks Merry Christmassy!
