I have started stitching on a couple of winter blocks. My theme hasn't strayed far from the block I stitched last year.
I am making the new ones 12X12 inches to be compatible with last years'. If I can make one or two each year I can eventually sew them all together to make a quilt.
Moving inside as it gets colder outside inspires lots of imagery about warmth. I think a lot about keeping my family busy and happy as it becomes harder to spend time outside.
Filling our house with people always helps with warmth and cheer. I wish the same for all of you.
love the glowing windows !

DeleteThese are beautiful. I love the block with the little house and trees.
ReplyDeleteWe saw a fox walk right past our house in the snow last year about this time. It was amazing.
DeleteThe cheerful, bright blocks in the white field is so festive, yet restrained. I love the subtlety of your stitching. Your Christmas quilt will eventually be irresistable.
ReplyDeleteThe brightly colored blocks against the white ground is so festive, yet restrained. This is going to be a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of a little party going on inside those windows. Definitely something festive.
