Bits and pieces of sewing have been going on here. I saw this darling pattern for little snowballs at a quilt shop recently and fell in love with it. Although the quilting isn't finished yet, I have to share my California snowballs. It's a good thing they don't melt.
I managed to get a few blocks done for our Japanese X&+ swap done too. I am excited to see how the set colors of green, pink and purple turn out. Most of the recipients have just requested scrappy fabrics.
Sheila is having a Christmas post card swap that I am participating in as well. I don't think my partner reads my blog so I will share it here.
I know Halloween was several weeks ago, but here are just a few shots of the little ones.
This was our sunrise this morning. How could it not be a perfect day ahead?
Just to say have loved looking round your blog - those Japanese X blocks are lovely. Thanks for sharing. xCathy
