Thank goodness I finished the holly as it is kind of a minimalist Christmas around here. Sciatica nerve issues since October, now know is a bulging disc. So only a new to us small tree and nativity set from my mom made it out as decorations. So happy that she gave me the nativity now...loved it growing up. The only thing missing is the real straw we would bring in for the manger.
Spent some time in the studio and finished two Blackbird pieces. Both mom and I had stitched these. Then mom sent me a picture of the wool applique white pumpkin pillow and the Rebekah Smith huswife I had done in April in Ohio. I had finished all the stitching and mom put the binding on. A very productive month.
Mom got a new floor in the kitchen and dining room. We were hanging things for her and she had this quilt she was going to hang in her studio. I suggested handing it in the dining room as the new wall paint would go well with the quilt colors. The quilt is wool applique on cotton.
