First, I want to give a big thank you to Marian from Seams to be Sew for all her hard work in planning and organizing this hop. We all truly appreciate it.
We had a very rough month here at our house. I had all kinds of ideas and Christmas projects that I wanted to make, still do. But unfortunately, our daughter-in-law's father passed away. He lived 910 miles from us. Her and our son went up right away. We had some things to straighten up here then we followed. I felt so sorry for her. Losing her father then have to organize his house and possessions to sell. I only learned first hand how hard and how time consuming it is. Not living close makes it harder yet.
I did get some embroidery done...I wanted to make a Small blue wall hanging for in our kitchen.
I then trimmed it and put a boarder on to look like a picture frame.
I quilted snow flakes all around the embroidered Angel and then 1/4 inch from the seam in the boarder.
Now please folow me to see all the other creative projects for today:
So, enjoy today and the rest of the hop and remember, each day will feature a new giveaway from:
who once again has graciously given us a $25.00 gift certificate to give away.
Please go to: Seams to be Sew
For the Link to enter, and Good Luck!
I can't wait to see what everyone made, I can never get enough, lol.
Then off to my room, I have lots to do.

Hi Jane. I love designs using those curlique lines. Your angel is so pretty. She would go well with a Christmas tree design I saw. I hate that your DIL lost her father so close to the holiday.
