THE START OF CHRISTMAS

It's true.  Christmas will be here before we know it.  The weather here is gorgeous and it's hard to imagine that it will soon be -20 !

The other day I started this little Cardinal wall hanging. Not for any particular reason other than I thought it was cute


I'm thinking that I may send it away to one of my swap partners : )


When all the pieces are fused, I may try some thread sketching like I learned making this quilt
for the blog hop.

Speaking of blog hops, I have some winners to announce ! Thanks to everyone who took the time to stop by and leave a comment

Hard to believe we are coming up on Christmas. I love the new modern backgrounds here. The cardinal stands out so well on them.

Because it is cute is as good a reason as any.
I really am not ready to think about Christmas. I try not to see the decorations for sale in the shops already!
