Merry XMAS and I Won

Merry Christmas! It is Christmas morning here in Dunfanaghy, and Joe is still asleep. I am up early to make breakfast for everyone. Gene emailed me and said that I won a free online quilting course in his giveaway. I was the last one to comment, and as Gene said, generally that last one doesn't win, but I did. Thank you so much Gene!

I am giving the course to Vicki, who doesn't have a blog, but you can see her profile. She has been writing me how she wants to get into quilting, and this is a perfect way to help her....

my Christmas gift to her. I also suggested that she get a Quilt in a Day book by Eleanor Burns, as my first quilt was a log cabin quilt from one of her books. I still have that quilt as a memory, and when I look at it, I realize how much I have improved as a quilter. I also mentioned Alex Anderson, as she is really my all time favorite, and I have tons of her books.

Merry Christmas to you all ! I have not had an easy year this year healthwise, but I have my Joe and two doggies, and so many wonderful friends, and that is all a blessing. I hear that some of you bought Baileys and will be making some of the dessert recipes that I shared with you....Just enjoy it all...Today is a day for happiness, being with family and friends, eating good food, having fun, and just appreciating all that we have. We are going to eat breakfast, and we are off to see Bobbi.It will be a glorious hike through the snow. A joyous day to you all!!!!!!!
