Holiday Favorites, Blog Hop, My Turn

Welcome to the 

Holiday Favorites

Blog Hop, 2019.

I was honored

 to be asked to participate.

Thanks, Lori for hosting.

The Christmas holiday 

is a time of expectation,

a time to celebrate,

and a time filled with traditions. 

I've learned over the years

to keep Christmas decorating simple,

welcoming, and focused on the things

that are important to our family.

(Like a decorated box, a small boy, Weston, and a Santa hat)   2018

Of course, if you have followed

me for awhile you know that I've

been quilting for a long time.

I love creating and making beautiful quilts

that are an expression of Me!

Quilts can easily become part

our Christmas decor.

Have you noticed the popularity of

 the vintage red truck with a Christmas tree?
Hey, wait, we have a red pickup!

How about quilts in a Colorado red pickup!

"A quiet Christmas morning in the Colorado snow"

"All along the Rockies

you can feel it in the air"

From Telluride to Boulder down below"

Quilts can be displayed almost anywhere.

Rolled and stuffed

Stacked up high

Or casually draped over a chair.

Of course, bedrooms are the normal place 

to create a cozy warm holiday look.

A quilt that won't fit?

How about a slight tip?

Not one, but two
quilts might be needed
on a cold Colorado night.

Snowflakes and
Santas,
oh, what a delight!

Dreaming of Christmas
will be easy to do

tucked under a quilt with a stocking or two.

Quilts can be hung on the walls

Or even

 displayed as a mat

or used on the couch

 while taking a nap.

However you celebrate
or what family traditions you hold dear,

Wishing you and your family happiness
during this magical time of the year.
