Advent Calendar



This quilt is an advent calendar from a Nancy Halverson panel. (I am a sucker for a cute panel.) It had cut out ornaments that you fused to black felt with a cord hanger to put on each button as the days go by. My two kids take turns picking out ornaments to put on the calendar. I just love this one and had so much fun machine quilting it.
We went to see a local production of A Christmas Carol tonight. It was such a good performance. One of my students was in it, as well as two friends. They did not disappoint and we are still smiling from the good mood and Christmas cheer that was contagious at that event. Hooray for the New Horizon Theater players!!

Oh Julie, it's so cute! I love it! I'm hibernating.... it's way too cold for me to even think of going out, BRRR. Oh, but I did make it out to bring in wood, not quite as much fun as the theater but I went in my jammies, LOL!
