Believe it or not, though this picture comes to you from Oct/2021, when our family joined the whole Jenkins clan for a Thanksgiving weekend at the cottage, for a family reunion, the maker and owner of the cottage, my sister-in-law Deb, made this quilt many years before. This was the time/era of floral fabrics that were used to do a shaded effect when making whatever design you chose for your quilt.
Don't they look so much better once they are trimmed. When you compare the before and after, the Y looks like I did a new block, but I didn't.
Tomorrow, I am at my mom's place for dinner, Saturday I HAVE to get out and do some Christmas shopping!! I do not want to leave it to the last weekend before Christmas, because that will be just crazy! This year due to my daughter and her boyfriend having arrangements with family on his side, we are doing Christmas on Christmas Eve..... Not a problem really, but I am having to change my ways....lol. I am usually found on Christmas Eve watching the original version of the Scrooge doing all my Christmas gift wrapping....nothing like leaving to the last minute......lol. I am getting to bed in the wee hours of the morning, just a few hours before the kids get up with excitement of Santa and all the gifts under the tree..... I know, I do it to myself....again....not complaining, just stating how it is....
Take care everyone and don't forget to take some time for yourself. You're worth it!!
