Your projects are all lovely and definitely banish the Winter Blues! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
Love your quilt, it is a great block choice and the block makes a wonderful mug rug.. The pillow is a perfect blue addition to this hop.
I love your quilt, pillow, and mug mat. I decorate with mug mats on my living room table, all the time, and this would be a wonderful addition. I am going to check out the quilt pattern, as I love this design. Thanks!!
Love the crossed canoes, it's one I have never made. That I can think of anyway.
Both of these are beautiful, Danice! I love the blues you chose and the quilting. Sweet Winter Blues...thanks for sharing!
I'm a big fan of star quilts and yours is beautiful! As is the mug mat!
STUNNING! Love it Danice.
I love crossed canoes and your layout with contrasting blues is awesome.
Beautiful quilt and pillow!
I do love crossed canoes, and your blue versions is so soothing. The pillow to go along with it is just perfection!
Hi Danice! Ooh, that canoe quilt is just stunning. Look at the pretty quilting on the reverse side. I would love to feel all of it's quilty goodness. Your pillow is so nice as well - it goes well with the quilt without matching it exactly. Beautiful finishes! ~smile~ Roseanne

One of my favorite quilt blocks and your quilt is beautiful. Love your blues. Such a fun mat and pillow too. Thank you for joining the Winter Blues Blog Hop!
This is a gorgeous blue quilt! It looks great with your quilting and the colors of blue you chose ... and scrappy! Thank you for doing the drawing. The little mug rug is really a mini quilt design, and I'd love to win it and the beautiful calendar.
Love both of your projects though the pillow really speaks to me. I loved that you had so many navy blue fabrics to use with your half-square triangles. Great job!
I have always liked that block. Thanks for sharing!
Just perfect for a Winter quilt! Janice
Very pretty blues to brighten winter. The crossed canoes look so crisp in your solids and scrappy background. Thank you for sharing in the hop ... :-) Pat
