This is my day, and the second day of the From the Heart Blog Hop. I was so excited when I heard about this one hosted by Carol @ Just Let Me Quilt. Carol has some of the best blog hops, and I appreciate all she does, and being able to participate in this one.
The idea was to create a small gift to share with someone. The list for the entire blog hop is included below.
I have been working on a number of gifts for Christmas. I have been embroidering on tea towels with these iron-on designs by Stitcher's Revolution. I bought the first set at that link, but then found that they also have them at Hobby Lobby and Walmart.
They are easy to embroider, and make a nice gift.
Last week I got tied up in making the next gifts. My daughters when they came to celebrate my birthday, saw this little wall hanging, and both wanted one, This was a QAL on the Quilts by Cheri Friendship Group on Facebook. I wanted to get them done before Halloween, and they have been gifted already.
Recently on the Love and Hugs for Christmas SAL, I downloaded this free design by Marg Low Designs, called Letter to Santa. My daughter loves birds, and I usually make her something with a bird in it for Christmas. I decided to make it into a table topper.
I also put together another table topper. The center block was an orphan block from a Feathered Star class I took with Marsha McCloskey probably in the late 1990's. This was the only block that was completed. I found one of the fabrics I used, but the others were not immediately available. I decided to make a braided border for it. I didn't have a chance to quilt it due to life recently, but this is the completed top. It was good to get this out of the orphan pile, and it is ready to quilt next.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and be sure and check out the others on the hop below. Thanks again to Carol for another fun hop!
