It Was A Blizzard Out There

We had at least 12 inches of snow last night.  Enough already. 

Christmas Eve Service in Williamson

 The Christmas Eve Church service at the Methodist Church in Williamson is our new favorite.  Beautiful music, lots of participation by the children, bell ringers and a really friendly congregation.  Here Grandpa Mike holds baby Lily who attends for the first time.

The church is always beautifully decorated with a tree of course and lots of beautiful poinsettas.

The bell ringers are always a favorite

Sewing Day at Marcia's With Genie and Barb

 Another fun sewing day at Marcia's with Barb Ackley and Genie Barnes.  Barb was working on this one block wonder quilt

 Marcia is making more changes in this quilt.

 And Genie was working on this beauty.

 Barb is making great progress on this vest with lots of beading and embellishment.

Check out all the beading on the sides and bottom of the back.  Click on the photo to enlarge it.

Sewing Day at Marcia's Studio

 My Dancing Sprites quilt is finished. 

I am making a wall hanging of three Shaman type molas from some of my Panama trips.  The middle panel is medicinal pots. 

 The latest revision of one of Marcia's upcoming quilts.

And she had just finished a jacket made from a rayon batik.
