it's a wrap...

Thought I'd share a pic of the finished quilt we gave to my sister and brother-in-law
...the last few stitches were taken inbetween batches of cookies
...and just in time to wrap up for your family gathering on Christmas Day.

We had a great day and I hope you did, too!
My Men-Folk are on vacation until the 2nd...and it is so fun having them home! My "honey-do" list is long...so we will see how much actually gets accomplished...
it's back to the studio for me...
The 2013 LJFibers Rug Project is just about finalized...
This year's rug is called "Pine to Prairie" it will be a wonderful, useable size at 22" x 36"...
most likely done in TWO parts...I still need to get it all figured out...
but will be back soon with all the information...

Until then...
May you have a Safe and Happy New Year's celebration...
and Many Blessings the whole year thru! ~L

    1. Hi Shirlee, Happy New Year!
      Thanks for stopping by and your kind comments...maybe this year you will make one!
      This one was really quite easy and forgiving! I just washed up a 2 yard piece of plaid wool and started hand-stitching "stuff" on! Then with "right sides" together, stitched it together with a "pieced" piece of cotton flannel, left a small opening and turned it all right side out. Stitched up the opening by hand...did a bit of hand quiliting...VERY primitive...but just the way I like it!

      Give it try!!!
