Lots and lots of quilt finishing and hat making going on!  I had my first Christmas last night and gave these hats to my dad and two uncles, I really really wish i had remembered my camera. They were so funny! They spent the majority of the night see who could out hat who, one would turn his into robin hoods hat, the other the popes!

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

Our Oliver. His mom is Kelly, who many of you have met at a retreat (she gave the wonderful chair massages) or at the shop.  We love both of them immensely and so its always a wonderful time when they come visit, even though my arms are sore from holding him soooooo much! I just couldn’t get enough!

And these beauties

A fun time was had by all! You can see how even making the same quilt, everyone’s own personality comes out in them! Can you guess which quilter belongs to each quilt?
