Present for Myself

   Step 3 of the Grand Illusion Mystery looks very easy but I have not taken time to work on it.  So no progress to report there.     

Instead ...

My Christmas tree was put up and decorated today.  I wonder how it would look to hang ornaments on my Cathedral cactus. 

Packages have all been mailed or wrapped and cards addressed.  I still want to do some holiday baking but I feel ready for Christmas.

  I took time from holiday doings to practice on my new quilting machine.  It was a present to myself. 

To get the feel of it I meandered a couple of small charity/comfort quilts. Now maybe I am ready to try a more complicated design and a larger quilt.

Are you ready for the holiday?   

Hope you have a very Merry Christmas!
