Christmas in my Heart ....blog hop

November 18 that's my day ......

A Christmas Heart

Today is the second last day of the hop. It sure has gone by quickly. I would like to thank Marian from Seams to be Sew for hosting the hop and The Fat Quarter Shop for the daily give away . Stop by Marian's blog to get entered.

Tis my turn to share what I have enjoyed making in the last little while for the holidays.
And for me it has been stockings .....lots of stockings for gifts , for family. I've even taught a class for making them.
I like to use a mix of Christmas prints and some times to up cycle some denim.

There have been a lot of wonderful ideas shared to show you all where are hearts can be found at Christmas. I think they all lead towards our families and friends . We all have been
making items for those around us that we love.

And on another note here is a hint of an evergreen, done in stitches, that will be in a future post ........

Here are the blogs for the last day of the hop.....

I learned how to knit the cable stitch and knit this hat for my daughter. Boy did it stitch up quick with the chunky yarn.

I can see a few more of these in the future

I have finished a couple more quilts for Victoria Quilts Canada, I was the quilter another lady made the tops

And then I worked on a few samples for some class ideas for after Christmas

a twist and turn tote

I have a couple more ideas one is the 3 block runner I did in the past as well as a T Shirt class.
