It's a Very Terry Christmas!

Ladies and gentleman, when you read the title of this post you might just think..."she's been doing this too long!" You may be correct. A few weeks ago Terri, quilty friend from Ladies of the Cloth group, presented this too sweet paper pieced Christmas tree. This is such a great idea. 

 

It is hard to believe the end of October is upon us. How did that happen? Our leaves are not totally down yet, the air is cold and wet. It seems too soon to get Christmas-y- but it will be here before you know it and Terri is ready to go!

 Jenny and Terri also took a class to make this stunning enameled jewelry. These are Jenny's pieces. Aren't they beautiful? The little hearts are about the size of a dime. The red ones have an Asian flair to me. They both have multiple talents and love to explore new mediums. 

That whole training thing pooped me out!

•  Meet Susan of the Quilt Fabrication Blog. Today she is talking about Binding Techniques. Great for newbies and wonderful refresher! Just click anywhere on this sentence.
• Lola and I had our first formal training session. There were 9 other dogs. Some were itty-bitty little ones and others were big menacing pooches. Lola is in the middle size range. Bless her little heart, she did so well that she was doing the demonstrations. UNTIL a big cranky boxer tried to attack her. Well let me tell you, I was a little frightened. My curly little girl backed up, walked behind me and essentially said..."Mum, handle this please!"
• I am starting on a Christmas Panel (bought last year, ha) to dress up MIL's room at the Assisted Living Home. It is a nice room but I like to jazz it up for seasonal celebrations. I am not sure she even pays attention to it but I try.
