Grooviness Galore!

I was a teenager in the 60’s-70’s!!  Man that’s really telling you my age!!  LOL!

I was in our new Haymarket quilt shop and saw the new Tula Pink “Elizabeth” fabrics! OMG!! So amazing!  So I mixed and matched a bit and came up with this little 12 FQ bundle!

Kim, the owner of “Oh Sew Persnickety”, the quilt shop, had asked if I wanted to teach a beginning quilt class, so I wanted to use her fabrics in the class sample.

I LOVE the Yellow Brick Road pattern and think it’s a great quilt for beginners.

So, here’s my version of it for her shop sample!

And with these crazy awesome fun fabrics, what better name for it than “Groovy”??

I must have made Yellow Brick Road quilt about a dozen times for all occasions and fabrics!

It’s probably my most favorite quilt design ever!!

Yogi wants to know if you have a favorite go- to quilt design?  Oh, and he wants you to know he was a very good boy today for the groomer!!

Merry Christmas To All!!

I think my holiday ducks are all finally in a row at this point!  Whew!!  :-)

Gifts are wrapped and ready.

Fridge is full with the makings for our Christmas meals.

My husband is Italian, so our traditional meal for Christmas is meatballs and stuffed shells.

We’ve got waaay too many sweet breads and desserts sitting around… sigh…

Yogi has been groomed!!  YAY!

We will attend 8:00pm Mass tonight so we can sleep in tomorrow morning!!

I never showed you some of the things I made last month and this month.  This was a gift to my parents. 

I thought the apple print could be used for both Thanksgiving and Christmas.

This table runner was for one of my dear sisters!

It was a bargello kit from Connecting Threads.

Here is the new tree skirt I made…

from some cute modern fabrics!

I also made a new table runner from the same cute fabrics!! 

I love the addition of light and bright pink and lime green!! 

I especially love the bright pink fabric with the white reindeer, don’t you??  The pattern is the disappearing nine patch!!

And this is the new wall quilt I made for over the mantle.

I strip pieced the trees from my scrap drawer.  I named the quilt- “The Tree Lot”!!

Now, I’m already thinking about what to make to put up there…

when I put all the Christmas decor away next week… 

some winter scene…

any ideas????

I pray you and yours will have a most wonderful Christmas…

full of squeezin’ hugs and warm kisses and a ton of special surprises!!

No Text Tuesday - Early Spring in VA

Yogi finally was able to stand long enough to be groomed!


The only flowers out yet are the daffodils.

Pear trees are beautiful -full and white!

My deck is covered with petals!

Forsythia bushes are bright yellow everywhere!

Cherry trees are just budding out front!

Yogi keeping watch out for bunnies in the yard...

The same cherry trees are in Washington D.C.

which is 15 miles away!

Hope your spring is pretty, too!

God Bless, Polly :-)
