Did anybody go to the after-Christmas sales? I did not. I am pretty well stocked for Christmas decorations.
I did go to Joanne Fabrics yesterday because I ran out a particular fabric I need for a new project (see below). While there, I did pick up 10 of these picks.
Who could resist at .17 each?
I started a new project for next Christmas with this fabric:
LOL. I know it's hard to imagine what I one could possibly make with that fabric for Christmas! You can check it out on this page of the quilt blog if you are so inclined.
I also did a table with the cardinal runner I just finished. I used the money plant and the silver-painted branches that I took down from the top of the Christmas tree.
You can read more about it here.
I am busy this afternoon putting something together to wear to a New Year's Eve party I am going to tomorrow. Yes, a bona fide NYE party! I hope I can stay awake until Midnight!
Making Miscellaneous Christmas Quilt Blocks
-
At the moment, I have no idea what will become of these quilt blocks I have
been making for the past couple of weeks. I guess they will remain in this
bin...

Zoey..no I did not go shopping after Christmas..trying to stay out of the stores. I am afraid I would go for the 'deals' and I am trying to downsize!!! Those sure are cute little things you found at Joanne's..and only 17 cents each??
ReplyDeleteHave fun at your New Year's party and a Happy New Year to you!
We had been out to dinner on Sunday and stopped in KMart. It was like they hardly sold anything. They had some fun things including a Jaclyn Smith peacock feather wreath which I wanted by passed up as I was wondering where I would hang it it was only $12.50. I got the little peacock design feather bows for $3 instead and a few other sewing related Cmas items they had.
ReplyDeleteI like what you found at JoAnn's. I also love your cardinal centerpiece-perching them on a branch was a sweet idea.
No parties for us, but my brother wants to have a Super Bowl party to show off his big new tv.
Happy New Year to you and DH!
That was me up there!
