Whew! The holidays are over once again and we are not only into a new year but whole new Decade! How did that happen so fast?

During this period when I have been gone I haven’t just been holiday-ing… ;o) I finished my first queen sized quilt. Love that.   I quilted this on my machine and since it’s my first I will forgive myself the pucker….  You can bet this won’t be the last quilt I do… I am now hooked.

Years ago my mom made all of her grandchildren quilts.  They were a good lap sized quilt and she didn’t quilt them. A couple of us girls got together with her and we all worked together and tied them.  I was thinking of that this morning when I came across this site…

Mary’s Quilts.com … She had many scrappy quilt patterns on her site and this page with instructions (tute) for how to tie your quilts.

I hope your holidays were good.  Mine were great.  Some of the children and grandchildren came home and one of the grandsons married over Christmas holidays.  What a wonderful celebration!  A great way to end a year and begin another one….
