Another Merry Christmas Past

We all had such a nice day today. The turkey was moist, the pies yummy, nice presents and some Wii action. Now I'm sitting here watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation starring Chevy Chase. It's kind of a Christmas tradition. I usually watch it on Christmas Eve, but I was just too pooped last night.
The "camper quilt" was a hit. And until it goes in the camper next summer they thought it would look pretty good in the living room too. Here's a few other pictures of our Christmas.






If Ashley saw this she would wish she'd given Grandma a nicer smile.

And last,but not least, some Wii video action:

Done!!



Here's the "camper" quilt all quilted & bound. These pictures aren't the greatest. The colors are a little off & the focus might not be the best, but the lighting just wasn't very good. The quilting pattern is "Bubbles." I really like it. It's pretty easy to do once you figure out how to properly line it up for the next row when advancing.

Today was the day to start some cleaning. I didn't get as much done as I intended. I'm always overly optimistic about how much I can get done. I still need to get some presents wrapped tonight, put some pictures on the digital picture frame I got my daughter, print out some gift tags. Maybe if I hadn't quilted and bound 4 quilts in the last two weeks I'd be further ahead. Three of those helped finance our Christmas so I shouldn't complain. Will just have to call it quits on the cleaning before I exhaust myself. Some things NEED to be done and others I just think need to be done. As long as I make pumpkin pie for my one granddaughter & get the presents ready, that's all that REALLY counts.

I'm wishing all my readers a very Merry Christmas. Enjoy your families, enjoy the food, enjoy the gifts. And, take a few days next week and just do something YOU will enjoy after all the work of getting ready for the holidays. And have a QUILTY New Year.

Done!!


The customer quilts are done. The tree is up. Santas are set out. Rest of the decorations are up. Cookies for the exchange are made. Still have to make Christmas cards & get them in the mail. Still need to get a quilt of my own quilted for a gift. It'll all get done in time.
