Ding Dong Merrily on High......

It has been a lovely week in Sunriver!! We went to the lodge last night for dinner and to see the Christmas lights. It was so cold but so pretty!


Several days with wonderful inspiring, encouraging woman............
An adorable well behaved dog.....
A little wine and a lot of sewing. A great way to lead up to Christmas weekend!!
We managed to do a bit of shopping. Here's what I chose to bind my Jane Stickle quilt with. It is actually bluer in real life.
Here's the scraps I used to put our quiltalong doll quilt together with. (Yep, right after the new year I'll be ready, will you?)
I know I've told many of you already but Merry Christmas.

It has been a JOY blogging with ya'll for another year!!
Love and peace...

    What a wonderful time you must have had. Taking time to sew at this busy time of year is a great way to relax. We are celebrating Christmas today with our daughter and family as she is a nurse and will be working over the weekend. So, I will be sewing over the weekend while everyone else is finishing shopping, cooking, and opening presents.
    Have a very good holiday weekend!

    Nothing like good friends and a little wine!

    I am hyperventilating already with the New Year QAL! Why can't you be less organised like the 99%(:p) of us??

    Merry Christmas to you and all at home!

    Hi Lori,
    I'm so glad you had a good time at the lodge in Sunriver, we were there one Christmas and we had the best Salmon I have ever eaten. The Brunch was wonderful and the kids had a ball. Fond memories for our family. Merry Christmas to you, I do recongnize many of your fabrics for your doll quilt, they look great together.
