So, I have been working on this Christmas present. A small Strawberry Fields quilts perfect for a wallhanging or table topper. I just need to finish sewing that binding.
This is a small signature quilt I made as a Best Wishes present. I appliqued the little stars as an after thought because I thought it needed a little zip.
This is that hanky quilt. Those of you loyal followers will remember I finished this top a year ago. LOL. But, I quilted it today. Those are my grandma's vintage hankies. This is going to be a Christmas present for my mom to hang in her kitchen.
In other big news, Buddy finally lost that tooth that was dangling for a week. I thought tooth fairy might have to leave a note of encouragment, but finally he got it out. Unfortunately, he has forgotten how to smile normally. It took me 20 shots to get this one. No joke. Either his teeth are stuck together unnaturally, his eyes are squinted shut, or his tongue is sticking out that gaping hole. (notice all the above in this photo.) Heaven help us, he is having his pictures professionally taken tomorrow and I am hoping we get a couple that are good.
What are you up to this Saturday?

Love the vintage hankie quilt! I've been collecting hankies to make some kitchen curtains, and others for a wallhanging. Gotta love a cute little dude without front teeth.
Hooray Buddy!!! And hooray Kris! I spent ALLLLLLL DAY cleaning my house but it is done and I'm ready fir Thanksgiving.
Great finishes! Love those toothless smiles.
What great quilts - I'm really loving the vintage hankie one! I'd love to see a pic of the whole thing.
Have to laugh about Buddy - they reach an age where it's just impossible to get a halfway normal pic. I asked my son the other day where he got the idea to make faces at the camera, and he said GRANDMA! Boy is she in trouble.
You have some great gifts there Kris! Keep it up.
Buddy is too cute with his lost tooth.
Great projects your doing over there. Christmas is getting closer and closer isn't it?
Cute picture!! Those teeth are always tricky!! Your gifts look wonderful :-) You've been busy.
Congratulations on the tooth Buddy -- I hope the tooth fairy was good to you!
Love those quilt tops -- especially that WONDERFUL Santa hankie top!
