December 2010

Shortly following our trip to California the preparation for the Christmas holiday began. Every year I make something homemade for gifts. I really enjoy crafts and projects and the sense of accomplishment when I do complete something. For Christmas 2010 I was making blankets for The Volt kids and for the Clineff girls. I had found a really neat pattern called, “pinwheel”, that I had used for Deacon’s quilt and then I used a pattern called, “the braid”, for all of the girls’ quilts. Each one was a new, but fun, challenge for me. For an extra bonus I made one for my sister Whitty as well. I loved the colors and patterns for each and every one of them!
