Merry Christmas!
I hope you've all had a lovely holiday so far.
Don't stop celebrating--the Christmas season has just begun!
We got a decent dusting of snow, unfortunately it started just
before dark so I barely got to enjoy it but I guess you could say
we did get a bit of a white Christmas? There are some big ol' fluffy
flakes coming down this morning so I will be content with that.
One son has already headed home to Omaha so at least his
travel will be clear.
For the last Tuesday To Do link up of the year, I'm celebrating
a pretty remarkable year of quilting with my 2023 Trunk Show.
I wrap it up with my latest finish that I haven't shown yet so
watch for that. But hey! There is still enough time in the year
to fit in another finish or two. Can I do it? Wait and see!
I'm also linking up to Meadow Mist Design's Best of 2023 Party.
Of the 26 quilts I made this year, Peace & Joy is likely my favorite
but I wanted to recognize a few others so for this party I have my
bests noted with ⭐️stars⭐️.
(I'd love to know if there are any that really stand out to you!)
Now, on with the show!

Just for me!
This one was just finished last week in time for me to enjoy
throughout the holiday (and through Valentine's Day).
It's already been working its way around the room as we
sit by the fire or in our sunroom--which makes me happy.
Update
Currently being finished still in time for '23:
Woodland Christmas, Too (pic coming)
I hope you enjoyed my little trip down 2023 Memory Lane.

It IS hard to pick, maybe Versailles & Sweater Weather. In person, they are all amazing quilting treasures!
