I have had a busy week, but before I go on about my week, just a quick note to remember all those who have served our Country - Lest We Forget.
The ice is beginning to form on the lake, so it is a real good time to get busy on my UFO's - which is what I have been doing the last few days. We have two little muskrats that like to come and play everyday on the ice. The lake should be frozen by now, but we are having unseasonal weather at the moment. Hopefully we will have winter soon, because without the snow the lake will be down in the spring.
Yesterday I received my quilt from ALQS - the quilt is the Virginia Reel and it is from Elizabeth, from Virginia!!... I just love it... plus all the little goodies. It's hanging in my studio where I can see it every day.

I spent the weekend quilting my "All Things Christmas" by Bunnyhill Designs. I just had so much fun.... I just have to add some buttons and bows and it will be done - my 2008 Christmas quilt!
I also have been wanting to make a sock monkey for the longest time..... so this is my first one - has some festive clothing..... my niece collects them and I thought it would be a nice Christmas present.... and I finished a small wallhanging done with crayons, and finished 3 wool applique ornaments - so I am on my "UFO compl

I'll wear a little poppy,
As red as red can be,
To show that I remember
Those who fought for me.

Your "All Things Christmas Quilt" is exquisite Debbie and I love the cheeky sock monkey.
Does your lake get frozen solid so you can walk or skate on it?
I always enjoy seeing your lovely projects.
Best Wishes

Debbie, the little quilt you received from Virginia is beautiful. I simply adore your Christmas quilt. Just in the knick of time too.
Hi, It's Robin from The Robin's Nest...
I am leaving this message on everyone's blog that signed up for the Stocking Swap.
This is a reminder that everyone needs to send out their stockings to their partners by next Tuesday November 18th. If you have already sent out your stockings please disregard this message and thank you for being so speedy. :)
If anyone is having any trouble sending out their stockings I need to know TODAY. I am very understanding of the tough times some might be going through but do not want to see anyone left out. That would be very sad.
I do hope you all had fun making or buying things for your partners stocking and that maybe some of you made a new friend along the way~♥
Thank you for helping me make this Stocking Swap a success.
Much Love,
Robin
Your Christmas quilt is so festive. I just love the snowman ornament. Congrats on finishing so many UFO's
Your Christmas quilt is lovely, and the Virginia Reel quilt is very pretty. And how about that cute monkey!
Your All Things Christmas Quilt is lovely. Nice fabric choice. Did you all the applique by hand?
The little "reel" quilt is wonderful!
