WELCOME CHRISTMAS

Well, my husband says he is not done but you can't tell by these pictures. He has two Christmas trees (not holiday trees) on the front porch and I decorated our inside tree today. It takes me all day as I feel it is not done if you still see green of branches.

It actually looks much prettier in person than by these photos. The details of the greenery, bows, trees, wreaths, garlands, decorations, and large glittered snowflakes are much prettier seeing them in person.
Not a day or night goes by that we don't have people driving by and stopping. Attention to detail is what it takes. Merry Christmas and God Bless America to all.

LOVE MODA FABRICS

I love Moda fabrics! I made this cowboy/cowgirl quilt using the Moda decorator fabrics....they resemble the Bark Cloth fabrics of the "olden days". The mainly red one, which is the back of the quilt, is called "Cowgirls" and also incorporated into this cute quilt are "Get Along Little Doggies", "Cowboys", and "Rodeo Show" by Alexander Henry.

Alexander Henry has great fabric also. I once met Nicole DeLeon, one of the designers of Alexander Henry Fabrics. The fabric on the back of the next quilt, Snowmen, is by Alexander Henry. It is such a soft flannel and has scenes of children building snowmen, ice skating, and playing in the snow.
Tomorrow is another day, and another quilt....something I never get tired of making.
