Assorted Christmas fabrics 9.39 yards total $4.75.
I'm planning to make an apron this week for my coworker's first grade daughter for sure. I was also thinking of Christmas pillow cases for my girls. They want a "real" Christmas tree skirt but that is more likely to happen next year if I want to do a good job. So, I am all set for anything Christmasy that comes along and I'm okay with that.
When we were first married and living in Moscow, Russia I started a Christmas quilt of 8-pointed stars sewn by hand as I traveled by train and sat in church services. I finished the top and was hand quilting it when we lived in Guatemala. We used it when I wasn't working on it. Well one Christmas it was stolen (along with most everything else including the stove and our underwear) while we were in the US with my sick mother. I am thinking since I have a good supply of nice Christmas fabrics maybe it is time to make another Christmas quilt.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful find.
ReplyDeleteThose are some great looking "thrift store" finds. I never see anything current in our stores. I'm amazed at alo the exotic places you have lived. What a wonderful experience that would be.
