Getting ready to sign out for 2011...

WELL...  What a past few weeks...  I knew I had to get my Christmas gifts purchased/done, wrapped and sent out before my daughter and her family arrived to spend the holidays with us.  I didn't want to waste precious time dealing with all that while they were here.  They were here for 2 weeks, so we a lot of activity going on, which we really aren't used to : )  We had a great time and was sad to them leave this morning...


This photo was taken last night, while I still had the tree up.  I did get the decorations taken down as my youngest grandson decided to get started by taking the ornaments from the tree.

On a quilting note...  I can show the gift I made for my brother.  I made him a banner that he can hang on his back porch along his pool.


These flags spell our last name F-R-A-I-L-I-N-G.  I thought it would be a one of a kind gift that I could make for him.  Okay...  I just noticed that the first 2 flags are switched, but you get the idea.  The hardest part of this whole process was adding the grommets.  I had to recruit my husband to help me with that task.  I got the holes clipped and he finished the rest.  Thanks Brian!

There was one gift I did not get finished, so that will become a birthday present in this upcoming year : )  I have ideas forming in my mind for new quilt projects for this upcoming year...  We'll have to see what the year brings.

Happy New Year and Happy Quilting...
