Christmas is Here!

I delivered the last of my 'to be finished by Christmas' quilt to the customer today! My life was terribly hectic between Houston Quilt Market and yesterday, not counting the two week toothache and root canal! But, I also had a wonderful four day break for quilting retreat, lots of laughter, sewing and good homemade food. I was able to finish four baby quilt tops, four customer bindings, and I even pieced a customer quilt at retreat.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, my favorite day of the year. I love our decorated Christmas tree, the opening of gifts with family. I wish we had a second relaxing Christmas day like we have in Germany. Next year we'll have two new family members, a grandson and Casey, our soon to be daughter-in-law. Fran and Luke are expecting their son in March, and, John and Casey will get married in September. Lots of excitement coming in 2013!

Here is a sampling of pictures of these past two months:
