Just saying…got so excited….Hopefully a bit will be awaiting me once I am home.

The 16 patches I finished while visiting here.:  I was going to sew them together as one patches when I remembered the Marcia Derse, the Australian and the Africana fabric I have at home…Once more..excitement at fabric….So I am waiting….also did a potholder top with the scraps.

Always keeping a few hexes in my bag.  I am glueing them now.

It goes way faster than thread.  I press them with a.hot iron to set them and plan to stitch them together with a sewing machine!!

My girl made Aoife a new Christmas stocking.

All quilted and lovely

Getting ready to go

My poor sister is spending Christmas Eve alone in the hospital CMC main with her daughter.

Alexis has had an allergic reaction to the chemo and will not be released until she can keep food down.

So stressful for our family.  This is a mucus type of ovarian cancer.

All the hospital restaurants are closed.

I feel so sad for them both.

A lovely evening with my girl and her girl and her man…of course  I am wrapped in a woolen blanket by the new fireplace

Merry 

Christmas
