Happy New Year!
A majority of our San Francisco contingent was here for a week at Christmas - Kaela's family of six including their Spanish au pair Laura. And they got to meet their new baby cousin. The house was filled to brimming and it was as fun as it was exhausting!
I made a stocking for Laura - her first ever (in Spain they put out their shoes on the night of January 5th, for the Three Kings to fill) -
Followed by our annual yule log cake:
I gifted the sashiko throw to Kaela's family for Christmas -
Itching to get back in the sewing room! One of my intentions for 2025 is to continue to find joy in quilting, and not get overwhelmed by too many projects at once. How many is too many??
From my home to yours, wishing you peace -

(from Elizabeth E. of OPQuilt) I loved this! Fun to see all your crew around, babies everywhere and beautiful quilts to round everything out. That last photo is a treasure. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
ReplyDeletejust as christmas should be...heartfelt gifts, loving family, sharing bounty....happy new year as well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful baby and kids filled family, so much joy, such memories made. The indigo quilt is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year. You deserve a rest after having the house brimming with family. Once the tiredness has gone you will only have sweet memories of the gathering.
ReplyDeleteGood question, how many projects are too many. I guess any number that makes you exhausted. The problem is that witthree children you will probably have a lot of grandchildren and the all require a quilt now and then.
Keep up the wood work.
