Jingle Bells...

 Look what is next up on my quilt list! I'm having my doubts I'll get it done before the end of the year, but if I can start on it I will be happy.
I made a couple of these primitive hearts for a hostess gift.....

and I liked them so much I had to make a few for myself. I'll hang them on the tree when we get one.

 My daughter is coming tonight and I hoped to make the room cheery for her visit.
Porter the dog gave it the thumbs up!! Then I promptly kicked him out!

    What a gorgeous 4 block applique quilt!! I'd say the room looks very cheery and welcoming. Your red and white quilt will be the perfect project to work on through the holidays :0)

    I have always loved the irish chain, think I will make one too, maybe this year;) I love making little ornies as gifts, fun and quick. The bedroom looks wonderful.

    Your red and white Irish chain will be even more lovely when it's quilted. But don't make yourself stressed out by thinking you have to get it done by the end of the year. Love the 4 block applique on your daughter's bed. It's wonderful. Merry Christmas.

    I watched your progress on this from your Sisters trip and glad you are getting back to it so soon! The quilt on your daughter's bed is a stunner, love it. We have our tree but there are no lights or decorations on it yet--I'd love some of those prim hearts too :)

    Nice that your daughter is coming home to share the Christmas season with you. My tree is up, but needs to be fluffed and decorated. Are you waiting for dd to help you with your Tree? Cute stockings at the end of the bed too! She get's 2? Lucky Girl!

    the red and white quilt is great-if you don't get it done at least you're on your way! Poor dog he's probably just as excited about your daughter's visit and wants the bed to be warm and comfy! --I'm sure that's why my dogs are always on my daughter's bed.
    enjoy the visit!

    Lori! This is going to be uber-fun to quilt. I'm excited for you and delighted we can share along with you. Nothing like Porter to make it all cheery and smiley. Hope he gets a treat, too. *karendianne. Porter's amnesty international. ;>

    Beautiful red and white quilt. Very sweet hearts. Fun to have your daughter coming. This is the first year that I have had anyone "coming home" for Christmas. In the past when someone was away at Christmas they were too far away to come home. New experience for me getting a room ready.
