Joy Christmas wall hanging
Merry Christmas morning, friends. Christmas is finally here, and everyone is so excited. Due to people's work schedules, we celebrated yesterday and all had a wonderful time. Very atypical weather here in Alabama, with thunderstorms and even tornadoes. There were injuries and property damage. We pray for all of the people involved and their families. A couple of years ago, I came across this wonderful free tutorial called Christmas Joy Quilt. Finally, pictured above is the completed project. Mine measures 10"X18", and is quilted in an allover meandering style. The cute green wreath ribbon was purchased from an Etsy store. Actually, this work is supposed to be in a white frame. Instead, mine has back hanging pockets for a wooden rod. The free tutorial is from: Julie at The Crafty Quilter. Please continue reading to see this little quilt's backing.

Cute little reindeer pattern
Good morning all. Are you all in the holiday spirit? Pictured above is a cute little reindeer pattern, Rachel the Reindeer. This is a free pattern from Sisboom, and here is the link to the post about it: Rachel the Reindeer pattern. This one is made of 100% cotton ticking in a navy stripe.
