Finished a top...

...it's a small one but the top is done!

Using this pattern from Lazy Girl Designs ~ Confetti

and the Lazy Angle Ruler...

(we sell the ruler and the patterns at our shop)

The pattern is charm pack friendly but I decided to use

some of my 30's repro collection for it.

I started this little top about 2 years ago, pulled

it out of hiding and finished it up yesterday!

The next step will be to quilt it!

I added borders to mine.

The borders added to the size (42x42) which makes it a good size for baby

OR a table topper...undecided...but Spring should come in 

about 3 months!

So, this starts me on my New Year's Eve project.

Tomorrow will be a day of digging through some (not sure there's time for ALL) of my works in progress and getting them in order to work on (and hopefully finish) them throughout the new year!

Wish me luck...I will post pics New Year's Day!

I might even finish another small top on New Year's Eve as we ring in the New Year!

Happy Sewing,

Colleen

Merry Christmas...

I hope you all had a...

Merry Christmas sharing peace and joy with your loved ones!

I did...and here are a few little things that bring me

The first one is this Joy necklace I have owned for many years now

(and I have earrings to match)!

And then there was the peace and joy I felt decorating the tree(s) with some of my most favorite ornaments!

I enjoy unwrapping and hanging all of my Americana ornaments.

There are many more; Santa, flags, angels, glass balls...

This one my daughter gave me a few years ago...

And this one from my grandson that I opened today and hung on the tree!

So cute!

This one is from my childhood, it was one of my mother's...

Merry Christmas Mom...thank you for the memories!

I enjoy having a little tree full of Snowmen...

And a tree of stars and hearts...

And a little tree in a jar...

with a beautiful new reindeer ornament made by a friend!

But most of all I enjoyed spending a peaceful and joyful day with my favorite Santa!

Merry Christmas to all...

and to all Good Night!
