I decided I could not live without this wool appliqued Merry Christmas banner and bought that along with a wool appliqued case for my glasses. (I have not worked much with wool but it's on the list. . . )
I love Christmas greeting signs and am sure that Karen made this especially with me in mind, LOL. How did she know??
(Scrappy Stars quilt is from my book Remembering Adelia)
I haven't started decorating for Christmas yet but think I will hang it above the doorway from the front hall to the living room.
This black frame is the perfect size to show off a small, primitive appliqued quilt I'm working on (no, not wool).
(FYI - Karen said this case is made from a Kim Diehl pattern.)
It also works as a case for your rotary cutter.
On the way home we stopped at a couple of local shops, avoiding the big malls and the crowds. I hate shopping on Black Friday but the
crowds were not too bad at a few of the small malls we went to and I was able to pick up a few stocking stuffers for my daughter,
including this adorable coffee/tea travel mug with pink dog bones on it,
so sweet.
(Don't worry about me spoiling the surprise. I'm pretty sure my daughter would not be caught dead looking at my blog, LOL . . .)
We
also stopped at PetSmart but I could NOT find a battery-operated crazy ball for
the dog, darn it. We used to have one for the other dog and it broke. My kids are grown and there are no small children in the
family so I have to get my Christmas jollies buying toys for the dog, how sad is
that?
Please, please won't you buy me a new toy for Christmas? "Sheepie" is starting to get a little ratty looking . . . . By the way, speaking of ratty, I could use a haircut too.
I was sooo tired when I got home (the three days of cooking, cleaning and
entertaining for Thanksgiving finally caught up with me) that I just heated up some leftovers and crawled under a
quilt and read and watched TV for a few hours, LOL. Then I got up and ate some pie. A good day.

Some really beautiful things at that craft sale! And I love that Merry Christmas banner! Sweet! And your dog is the cutest thing ever! That toy is bigger than he is, and yet, he's still in control of it! Ha!
Love that banner - how long is it? Sounds like you had a great day with a friend.
Thank you for your wonderful Thanksgiving post. I would love to have been to Karen's craft sale. Is she willing to share her beautiful items with a stranger? I'm glad you enjoyed your weekend-I also avoided the malls!
Sounds like a perfect way to celebrate Black Friday, all except poor doggie didn't get a crazy ball. Love the quilt on the sofa, looks like the potholder blocks. Silly question, did you make it? Hope you are going to do your mini quilt monthly quilt along next year.
Thank you, Betty Lou! Yes, I love that quilt and I made it too. It is the Soldier's Cot quilt from my book Remembering Adelia, The Scrappy Stars quilt with blue backgrounds up near the top of the page is from the same book. Who knew I made big quilts too??
Wow sounds like a great day...I love the Christmas banner too!
Wouldn't it make a lovely border on a table runner!
Muy lindo.PAZ Y AMOR
what a perfect way to go out on Black Friday. I love the small shops. The banner is just perfect. Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing.
Barbara - If you see an item you like you can e-mail me and I will give you Karen's email so you can contact her. She does not have a website but I know she has taken orders for the doll beds before.
Congratulations for your Quilt,
and your Beautiful Christmas Banner!
Bye Bye from France!
That Christmas banner is going to look so lovely in your home. And ending the day with pie is a very good thing. In fact, starting the day with pie is also good.lol
Kathleen,
The Christmas banner is gorgeous! And your dog just darling!!! Didn't you have 2 dogs?

Is there a pattern around somewhere for the banner? I thought that I have seen it before but I can't seem to find anything. I would love to make one!
