Blue Churn Dash Finished

The workmen are off until after Christmas - so things were considerately quieter today.

They did a lot cleaning up while they were waiting on the inspectors to come out yesterday.

I appreciate that the contractor doesn't waste a lot of lumber.  The weather was so nice these past few days - they got a lot done.  Looking forward to spending time out here next summer.

This morning while I was doing laundry I finished sewing on the borders.

It is 88 by 88".  I think I will have enough of the blue  of inner border to use for the binding.

And I will use one of the blue backings that I bought for Daniel and Ben's quilt, 

  

Love my flocked tree - during the daytime hours.  The star topper that we have used on the tree for over fifty years (John picked it out) - wouldn't light this year ( we didn't test it before we put it on - it always amazed me that it lasted so many years).  Marcia and Jim have it at their house - they have rewired it and will bring it back on Christmas Day.  

John and Gordon Christmas 1961.  

I love to think that they are together celebrating their fourth Christmas in Heaven.

Merry Christmas

Early Morning Sewing - Border One

Got up for a little early morning sewing - that seems to be my most productive time these days.

I made the inner borders and sewed one row of little churn dashes and sewed them on before the construction crew arrived.

This was where they left off last night.  They are hammering away right behind the sewing room hence the early morning sew fest.

 I am also baking some cinnamon rolls that I prepared last night.  They smell delish.

Almost ready to come out of the oven.  Have a wonderful day.
