Holiday Lane Blog Hop & Giveaway

 It's day ONE of the HOLIDAY LANE Blog Hop!  So, FIRST, Lets give a BIG THANKS to Pauline Francis of Quilt'n Queen and Madame Samm for sponsoring this fantastic Hop.  

I cannot believe how time flies,  Gee, tomorrow is Thanksgiving already.

So without further ado.... Here is my pillow:

This was a lot of fun to make.  I had all kinds of ideas as to how I could embellish it but my husband seen it and said it was perfect and not to do anything else to it.  

He is such a great supporter of my quilting.  I can always count on him to give me his honest opinion of my work.  (which is what I want even though sometimes it is hard to hear)

I don't know about anyone else, but I have been really busy getting ready for Christmas.  Every year in December, the University of Tennessee has a "Santa's Village".  There is a large train set up, all kinds of things for the children including a petting zoo, and lots of venders.  This year I am setting up a table with some of my things.  So, I have been busy making all kinds of different items.  Here are just a few things that I have:

(I thought mother/daughter aprons were so cute...I made quite a few)

(I have lots of items including a lot of Pin Cushions, Scissor Holders, Wallets, Change Purses, Cosmetic Bags, etc.)

Now I know you all heard of "MISSOURI STAR" QUILT CO. I got the best Christmas fabric there and such a great price too.  I made these wall hangings with some of the fabric that  I got:

"Bells are Ringing"  32" X 32"

"Merry Christmas"  43 1/2" X 43 1/2"

Oh, I also made this Christmas Quilt with their fabrics:

"Christmas is Coming"  50" X 50"

I am not done either.  I want to make stockings and more toppers.  I am all excited and having lots of fun at the same time.

OK, enough of my things....Go check out the rest that have blogs today in the "Holiday Lane" Blog Hop:
