There's so much tradition to pack into December that it's no wonder Christmas seems to start before autumn does these days.

Well, here we are again. Another year has came and gone. Time seems to fly by anymore. Seems like yesterday I was loading up my mom’s car up to go to my Aunt Willie’s house for Christma…
How quickly, it seems, we can go from this... to this... With a few flips of the calendar pages the seasons change. I've continued to work on and even finish some of my 17 in 2017. My most recent finish, "Let It Snow" will be ready and waiting when winter decides to return. Let It Snow 37" x 30" This was a delightful free BOM wool applique pattern designed by Stacy of Buttermilk Basin. The reason it was on my 17 in 2017 list was because it was last year's free pattern! It's still available on her website for purchase, if you're interested. I found the black flannels for the backgrounds in my stash, and the wool as well. Years ago I bought this wool skirt at the Goodwill, felted it, and who knew years later it would become snow. The blocks were fun and easy. By simply changing the cardinal to a blue jay it personalized the block for my neck of the woods. (No, cardinals here) Adding some buttons or beads is another way to make a pattern your own. I had planned to add a more extensive border, but it just wasn't in me to keep going. I simply quilted in the ditch and added some snowflakes in the borders. I'm simply going to let the blocks speak winter. Another finish from my list. It's a great way to enjoy the summer.
