Everyone is home, Christmas decorations and preparations are everywhere, the oven is on, the presents are wrapped, and I think we’re going to make it! This year, I made an effort not to fret about what didn’t get done each day. So what if we’re only starting Christmas baking now? With both big girls helping, I know there will be plenty to eat.
Now if I could only find my camera, which disappeared sometime last week when I was recuperating from that pesky headache.
Garden Party is finished! I have plans percolating on revisiting this quilt again some day. (They may or may not include some Vicki Welsh shade packs.) I love the blocks and how quickly everything works up. The pattern is scaled down (less blocks) from Bonnie Hunter's Garden Party pattern. I was able to stitch down pleats to tame my wavy borders. I don't think any of my blues bled into the white, so that's fabulous.
Now it's off to start a new project, if I can just catch a moment to myself. Merry, merry Christmas to you and yours!
Be sure to spend a few moments of quiet and check out the finishes this weekend.

Have you tried Shout "Color Catchers?" I wouldn't wash a quilt without one!

Garden Party is a scrappy beauty! Have fun baking and with your family this Christmas! And hope you also find a few moments to yourself now and then!
Beautiful quilt. So fun when the kids get old enough to really help out. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and enjoy all the little moments.
Congrats! on a stunning finish. I can't believe that you are giving it away!! Or did you have a change of heart now that it's done? I wouldn't blame you one bit!!
Garden party turned out beautifully! Wishing you a very happy holiday. Enjoy the madness, they all grow up way to quickly.
