The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I love this time of the year! I love the lights and the music and the cooler weather, the only problem is it goes by so fast!

All of the quilts in this post were made my one of CiL's faithful long-armers, Linda. 

Linda's been working hard the past few years helping to assemble and quilt our block drives, but she also makes her own quilts and sometimes donates them.

Linda has a great eye for color and pattern and she is a busy bee! She's one of the folks who keeps CiL afloat.

Our community has really gone all out for Christmas this year.  The nearby town had a Celtic Christmas festival weekend and I enjoyed a show at the local theatre with bagpipers, drummers, dancers and folk singers. 

(There's no particular Scotch or Irish heritage in our area, I assume they just thought it would be a fun theme?)


The school had a Christmas festival on Saturday and the music and general hubbub was clearly audible from our house. 

Hope you're enjoying this Christmas season, wherever you are!

  1. I just love Linda's quilts & her colors just pop right out in each one. I think next to stars in a quilt my next favorite is flying geese. I absolutely adore that first quilt you posted. Sounds like lots of fun in your town. My Christmas time this year is pretty "low keyed" but I'm still blessed by the reason for the season. God is good. Hugs!

  4. I really like the blue sashing in the crumb block quilt. stands out nicely and makes the blocks pop. All Linda's colorful quilts are amazing.
    Merry Christmas to you and all your helpers.
