SLEIGH BELLS --RINGING IN CHRISTMAS

 

I am covered with my 
Christmas postage stamp quilt

while:↴↴↴
Icing my ankle and lower leg...

I had such fun making this postage
stamp quilt
and I was surprised to see
I made it way back
in 2 0 1 4!!!
(Labels are so important!!)

All reds, greens--
even pink tones and
off whites and pure
whites--
SO VERY SCRAPPY

Bordered with this 
vintage-y print and
the back featuring my
favorite kind of Santas

↡↡↡↡
I have two width-long
strips of them across the mottled
greenery of the background...
and
a lovely deep, dark roses print
on the sides...

*********************
This very first wall quilt I made
is now up on my dining room wall
to welcome the season

This pattern is from
an old issue of American
Quilter magazine that I
used to subscribe to...

**********************
We've pared down our decorations
to 2 small tabletop pre-lit
trees--I am still collecting
really small--mini--ornaments
for them...

**********************
I have closed my sewing room
until I can manage sewing
layering, etc better...

All of my mailings and gifts
have been finished...so
I decided it is 
time to seriously 
rest up
this old body
 and get myself
back into some semblance
of shape...

Yesterday I was able to
ride my recumbent bike for
5 minutes....
that is progress in my book;)))

**********************
It is sunny and chilly here 
and most of our leaves have
fallen, just a few high oak 
leaves are hanging on...
AND
they are the most luscious
deep, dark maroon-ey
color--I would love
fabric like that!! 💖

**********************
Tonight's dinner  
will be :
 leftover beef stew
that DH and I put together 
two days ago...
with
garlic bread on the side..

Hope you are enjoying decorating
for your own holiday season..

Hugs, Julierose,

P.S.  we may get snow
this coming week...
