This week I have been concentrating on getting quilts finished for Christmas . It was no mean feat .
The red Christmas quilts are just bits and pieces from my stash .
This quilt is cot size . It is a Christmas panel built up round the sides , it has a 2oz batting and backed with fleece so it will be cozy .
This is a shirt quilt , I really feel like hanging on to this one myself for a while . Perhaps I shall feel different in a couple of weeks
Another Christmas quilt .
I feel it would be nice to just sit and read or watch dvds for a few evenings .
I had a nice surprise yesterday . I sold a quilt 2 weeks ago . It was the Dresden medallion that I showed on my blog . The person who bought it was so delighted with it she sent me a card with an extra £40 .WOW .
I have also had a very sad shock this week . My next door neighbour died very suddenly . I feel sad and cannot get my mind focussed at present . It makes one realise how fragile life can be .She was a lovely person , I shall miss her.
Bye for now , time for a cup of tea.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your neighbour- especially hard at this time of year.
The shirt quilt is definitely the one I love the best!

Sadness, so near to Christmas.
Your Christmas quilt is amazing. Always lovely to see your work.
I'm so sorry to hear about your neighbor.
Your quilts are beautiful-I love the red!
sorry to hear about your neighbour, it will be a hard Christmas for her family. 3 lovely quilts, all so different but equally appealing. Congrats on your quilt sale, is this the first of many?
Your projects turned out beautiful. I especially like the one made from shirts...so soft and snuggly. We are in the middle to a winter storm. So far we have about 9 inches of snow on top of ice. So far we are keeping warm and safe -- as long as the power keeps working. Barb

Nice to see you have been busy. Your quilts look lovely. I have been busy making cushions for Christmas.
Sorry to hear about your neighbour. It always seems worse at Christmas time. Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.
