I'm hoping that everyone had a Merry Christmas. This was a year of aprons for Christmas. My daughter, Anna, and her friend, Aparna, are learning to bake pies, and I thought they should have their own aprons. The aprons are from a pattern called "Church Ladies Aprons". Anna also got the new Inglenook Cookbook, published by the Church of the Brethren. This is a new edition. I remember my mother cooking from the Inglenook Granddaughter's Cookbook when I was young.
I love this picture of these beautiful ladies and their pies--a Kentucky Derby and a black raspberry. They were delicious!
I made an apron for my friend, Jani, also. Jani is always willing to share her stash with me--and you quilters know what a big deal that is! I love her fabrics. As a matter of fact, this "cat" fabric came from her stash.
I love that these aprons are also reversible.
I made poinsettia wall hangings for my friend, Betty Sue, and for my daughter-in-law, Jae. I bought the pattern at Ruth's Stitchery in Colorado Springs this past fall. The petals are 3- dimensional, giving a nice appearance to the wall hanging. The background is flecked with gold, a Stonehenge fabric.
This memory bear was not a Christmas gift, but it was a gift I made for my daughter, Anna. It is made from a pair of gray pants that she got for graduation for her Grandpa Gentry. She wore out the pants but hated to get rid of them. The bear is made from a pattern I got from my friend, Fay. He is wearing a little flannel shirt like Grandpa Gentry would be wearing.

Even though Christmas is over, I still have a couple of things to make for my granddaughters. They will be visiting from Colorado Springs next week. You will have to check back later to see what I am making for them.
Wishing everyone a Very Happy New Year filled with Peace, Love, and Joy!
