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
