I don't think I have managed to get a great deal done this past week in the sewing room. Harvesting pecans has taken up a good deal of my sewing time. Plus some out of town company, birthday shopping for a grandson and early Christmas shopping.
We have some good friends that we have coffee with every Tuesday. Stan and Barbara invited us along with 2 other couples that we meet with each week to their home for coffee last Thursday. Barbara decorates her home for Christmas. Oh yes, at least 30 trees and as you can see lots of other decorations. She starts in September. Unbelievable!Barbara's husband Stan is not to be under done by his wife with his beautiful garden.I am hoping to finish up the last Garden Patch Cats pattern this coming week for my daughter's Cat Network fundraiser. I have had such fun making these.I did manage to get another William Morris block done on Enchanted Garden. Still needs to be stitched down, but making good progress to getting the piece finished. I think I will be moving it down from its center top to the bottom center, right now placement is a bit up in the air. Besides I have to make 2 more large blocks. I am waiting until those are done to finalize their placement.

Beautiful Christmas decorations at your friends home, and to have room for 30 Christmas trees seems amazing. I do like your applique blocks. Haven't seen any pics of your daughter's pea cocks for a while, does she still have them?
ReplyDeleteYour friend has an amazing house for the holidays! Where does she store all of it? Love the pepper puss, that's really fun. Enjoy your stitching time this week.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, your friend's home is very decorated! How fun to look at all these trees and Christmas ornaments! It's quite joyful, and the garden is beautiful.
ReplyDeletePepper Puss is looking good too, I love these fun cats! Your new appliqué block is a beauty, love the sweet fussy cutting on the top flower center.
Thank you for sharing, and linking up!
Such wonderful projects you are doing, each month better than the last on your cats and William Morris. They will be great together. Well, you know what I mean. I can't believe all that Christmas. What an undertaking and an accomplishment! WOW!
ReplyDeleteOh the Christmas decorations. Beautiful. I always go for the red too. Hubby does a great job too. Beautiful inside and out.

Hi Donnalee, that is one amazingly decorated house but sounds like way too much work! I have trouble just putting out one tree and the hand-made decorations for the living room. I'm so looking forward to seeing your Pepper Puss :-) Good luck and thanks for linking up to Free Motion Mavericks
ReplyDeleteClearly Barbara LOVES Christmas. I've never seen so many decorations inside a private home, before. Your latest Enchanted Garden is a stunner. I love the fussy cutting of the fabric you choose for the eye of the flower. It feels like a reflection in a dew drop.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Christmas display! :) The Enchanted Garden is growing nicely.
ReplyDeleteWow - she does do an amazing Christmas display. One of my best friends from college does the same thing. They live in a big old Victorian house and she fills it with Christmas cheer. Your newest flower block is just as lovely as can be.
ReplyDeleteOh my!!! What a beautifully decorated home!!!! Your appliqué blocks are quite beautiful, too!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing collection of Christmas decorations! I can't imagine the dedication is would take to store, hang and take down each year! Love the progress on your applique block!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteDonnaLee your Enchanted Garden is really coming together. The William Morris fabric is just perfect. I’m looking forward to seeing your finished cat quilt. The blocks just make me giggle when I see them. Love your friend’s Christmas decor. Thank you for linking with To Do Tuesday. Hailey you’ve had another good week. Happy Thanksgiving 😉 Carol
