You have such talent, she will love it!!!

I have to say I love Christmas fabrics and I'm hoping to make some more wall quilts to compensate for the fact that I have nowhere to put a Christmas tree. I'd love to see photos of what others have done though.

Robin.....as soon as I can find my Christmas Tree Wall Hanging I will send you a pic. I get sooo many comments on it.

Right now I am working on a curlique scarf, then a regular long scarf and going to make a headband/ear muff for the grands.

I made this Remote caddy for the arm of DH's recliner. I took an extra block and quilted it for the front, quilted a whole cloth "runner" for the back that matched the recliner. I stitched two channels to hold the remote and made a small pocket in the back of the other end to put a metal bar in to keep it under the seat. It was an easy use of an orphan block. I plan on making the men in my family one for their chairs. [ATTACH=CONFIG]487232[/ATTACH]
