Well, it's a finish even if it is late...

I'm behind, and I'm embarrassed about it, but I am still working on my projects.  I decided today that I wanted to at least have the January project completely finished.


I used the pillow pattern from Gail Pan's book for the pillow.  I was dodging rain today and unfortunately you can't see the quilting.  I love it, and I know it will be so fun to use this upcoming holiday season.  Now I'm back to work on my applique.  Happy Stitching!!  --Kristen

It is lovely! My husband was just saying last week how he wants to pick fabric and have me make him a Christmas quilt for next year. That's what he wants and he said for me to pick a project that I want him to build for me out in his shop. Any good ideas?
