Guild Tonight

Tonight is our guild meeting which includes our Christmas dinner together. It is always great fun and food. We have the best cooks in the guild. My number 9 UFO is going back in the UFO pile. Poor thing. You can see I just got six blocks done. There are six more to do but they will have to wait.
Some more Christmas decorations. These are the stockings I made for my children. My oldest son has his now that he is married. All three of them together tell the Christmas story from the book of Luke in the Bible.
As I was reading the blogs on my list last week I read about this free Mystery BOM called Red Delicious. Esther has a sneek peek of the next block and if you want to do this you need to go get the first block soon. She will be posting a new block on the 15th of each month.
With Passion, Carrie P.

Carrie, those stocking are just lovely. What beautiful gifts for your children!

Last year I made my boys some quilted stockings. It was the first time I'd ever tried anything like that and the boys just love them.
