Merry Christmas!.............

 

 I made this table mat many years ago when I taught a class how to do fancy stitches on their machines as we added each piece on the base squares.  I just found a bag of pieces leftover from that class so I could make a new one if I wanted to.


This was my treat last night while waiting for Santa to come.







I finished a dishcloth and a coaster last night while watching a couple Christmas shows.  I'm making the dishcloths a few rows smaller now so I get 2 out of a ball of yarn and sometimes have enough left to make a coaster.

I hope everyone stays safe if they are travelling and/or attending a gathering. We got up to the mid 50s yesterday so no snow here.

Merry Christmas, Wanda--yum--that sundae looks fabulous!!
My daughter just texted me that they can't come as her twins were exposed to a boy who late last night tested positive for Covid!! And there are no tests available around there at all...so...we will be having a delayed celebration...
and so it goes...hugs for a safe holiday Julierose

Merry Christmas to you, Wanda! High 70s here later and it only went down to 65 overnight … and that is the forecast for much of next week . (I love peppermint ice cream, too)

Merry Christmas to you and your family, Wanda!
I'm glad you decided to bring out the table mat for display — it's bright and cheerful, a great way to show off fancy machine stitches. Hope you all have a good dinner with loved ones!

Merry Christmas Wanda! Your crazy pillow reminds me that I thought I'd make one to test my stitches on my machine; I haven't used most of them!
I love, love peppermint ice cream!!

I’ve always enjoyed your “Merry Christmas” quilt top, it has the warmth of the season in every piece of fabric and with all the fun stitches. And when I could eat ice cream PEPPERMINT was always my favorite 😋 And ~ tis the season to be knitting in the evening, and watching a t.v. program. I’m still knitting with the ‘scrubby yarn’. I enjoy gifting them and donating them to our “Free Store”.

I hope you had a great Christmas! You should have had a Dr Pepper with that ice cream for a big treat! I love how your orphan block quilt is coming together.
