Some quilting bee sewing.
For Julia. She requested red crosses on the drab green background. I struggled with this one a bit. I hope she'll like it.
And for Beki,
She requested stripes.
Alyssa requested Christmas stockings for herself, Derek and Bayleigh. I'm not so sure Derek would have chosen lime green with polka dots for his stocking, but perhaps if Santa fills it will goodies instead of coal, he won't mind.
oooooo i LOVE the owls in the striped block! where did you get those??

Oh, I love the stockings you made for your daughter and her family! They look adorable and something straight out of the movie ELF or THE GRINCH WHO STOLE CHRISTMAS. I love those and you'll probably be getting orders for them!
