~ New Block and WINNERS! ~

 Hello happy quilters!   Is everyone ready for Christmas?  Shopping complete?  Tree up and decorated?  I hate to admit it but I'm not ready.  What's Christmas without a little hustle and bustle?!  It's become an excepted part of the holiday season.  Luckily our Christmas will be celebrated in January so I have plenty of time to get things done.  My current project is this cheery stocking quilt.  All the printed fabrics are from my scrap bins.  It's been so much fun watching all the little stockings come to life.  I've yet to name this block.  Any suggestions? 

   

Maybe I'm drawing a blank on a name because I'm so distracted by all the color.  The piecing traffic jam behind the sewing machine gave me a chuckle.  It looks like the old fashion ribbon candy my granny always had at Christmas time in a candy dish on the coffee table.

I'd get a lot more finished in a day if could just focus on the job at hand.  After each step I must fondle and play with all the pieces.  Oh well, it brings me joy, what more could we want.  I'm my own boss with no deadlines other than the one's set by me so no worries about time wasted.

I've also been taking a little time out to work with Miss Khaleesi.   When I say work I mean WORK!  She is in what we call in a teenager period even though she'll be a year old in January.  Giving her commands is like talking to a wall sometimes.  Just like when my kids were teenagers.  The picture below took about 20 minutes due to her lack of attention.  She knows the commands, she just doesn't care.  All she could think was "GIMMEE THE PEPPERONI!  GIVE IT, GIVE IT GIVE IT!"  We love her and new personality laced with dog joy.  Far better than the depressed and skiddish girl we met back in February.

So at last the moment you all have been waiting for is the winners from my earlier post this week and from the Happy Little Things giveaway from last week.
