Snowmen A to Zzzz.... Letters G

The letter G is for gifts.  I love gifts.  All kinds of gifts and they don't need to be material gifts.  Most of the ones that are most treasured, are the ones that come from the heart.  Like when my daughter knows I am so busy that she takes the time to "gift" me with a fully prepared dinner that she made.  Another, is when the children take care of Maddie, even when it is my time, "gifting" me the luxury of time to do my own thing.  Gifts are everywhere, it's all in your perception of what a gift is.  Look for them, they are litteraly everywhere!

My daughter did a lovely job of this block.  They are all pretty.


As for me, I've had little time to do much these days, but I did put in some stitches into finishing the diamond hexagon quilt and I am working on finishing the edges to the blue grandmother's garden hexagon quilt.  During my breaks at work, I also work on a label for another quilt.
