For those who are visiting my blog for the first time, I thank you.  I am kept busy as a wife, mother, daughter and grandmother, but do try to make some time for my passion which is needlework of any kind.   This was our family picture taken last Saturday at our Thanksgiving celebration ....five children with their spouses and all 27 grandchildren. 



One of my loves is quilting and it is at this time of the year that I enjoy decorating with my Christmas quilts. 











I hope to get my snowman flimsy quilted next week so I can add that to the decor as well.



Thanks so much for visiting my blog.  Since we have our big Christmas dinner here on Saturday night, I will pick a winner on Sunday night.   Good luck in the giveaway.
