Happy New Year!

I think the first thing I need to do is shout out a big Thank you to Val, from Val's Quilting studio. She sent me a thank you note and a cool glass template for the Hexi's. I am headed to Austria in March for a trip with family and I think a little hand sewing for the plane might be in order. Thanks for thinking of me Val. Check out her blog!
My homemade Christmas gift for my daughter was a good fit. she seemed to like it and it looks beautiful in her room.
I must also confess to being a little (lot) crazy. On the 23rd I was over at my daughters house and she was looking for this Christmas flannel and could not find it, she wanted to make a simple flannel square to wrap the baby in at church on Christmas Eve, But, alas, I had the fabric at home. That evening I of course cut a big square and hemmed it up, Christmas wrap done. This got me thinking it would be nice for her to have an actual quilt! I pulled out the Christmas scraps and got busy, but I did not like what I was coming up with. Finally at 10:30 at night, I found something I liked and got busy. I worked until 12:30 and got up early on the 24th and quilted it up and put the binding on. By noon it was done and on the baby at mass. I just love it and so did she! It was Happy sewing.

    I am glad your daughter liked the purple quilt, and the awesome Christmas quilt. I love the pattern you used, and plan on using it with some florals in my stash busting goals. I also like how you pieced the back. Now I am thinking... Also, thanks for your idea about the chevron quilt.
