Out with the old Laurel Birch Christmas
so I can justify ordering the NEW! Laurel Birch Christmas fabric due out in May

After sitting in the closet for a year or so, I finally decided the yellow sashing would pull it all together

Time flies!
An old favorite, Laurel Birch Christmas cats. I made the blocks last year but could not decide what to do with them. Decided to add a LB yellow sashing
Christmas tress using the brown prints from the Fruitcake fabric. This will be quilt two this year. So far I am on goal to make one quilt for quiltsforkids each quarter.
Brown Bear quilt and bag are a baby gift. The Brown Bear quilt has been waiting around for over a year for a special baby to come along.
No, I don't know the special baby or his or her name. It is a gift for a friend of Richard.

More trees!

Lucy finished up a small Dr. Suess throw for Tyler, (due to make his appearance on Tuesday), Debbie finished several pages for her scrapbook, Cindy made curtains for Snook's room, Zelda taught a Smartbag class, Cathy made her first Smartbag and I finished up the binding on the Christmas Tree Northwoods quilt.
Brandi visited with the girls all day. They were happy to see her!

Now that the turquoise quilt top is off to the longarm shop, its time to make the brown squares

As you can see the directional snowmen in the sashing was a bit of a challenge. Which way do I face them?
Hum... decided to turn them in all directions for fun. Stripe fabric for the border will be added next.
Anybody need a quilt???????
