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"
   Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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.

Everdeen, 5 months old    2013

Until Next Time-
Kyle

Hope you continue to follow along.

  4. Merry Christmas Kyle! Love your quilts and love them by the large red truck!! Perfect props!! I do think a little red truck for a center piece is needed at my house. Thank you for sharing your lovely quilts and your home.

  5. WAY too many temptations in that post!! I LOVE the snowflakes and santas on the bed..do you know what the patterns are? Those two are definitely calling me (I even had my ear plugs in!!).

  6. What awesome quilts! I can't decide which is my favorite! We used to have a red truck, but did I use it as a prop for a quilt? No! Now we have a small red car, so maybe I will try it with a red and white quilt. I'll have to wait until I get home, as we are in Kansas now visiting family and will go to Florida next for more visiting until we head home to Oregon after Christmas. Of course I can use it for a prop any time of year! Thanks for the wonderful show and tell along with the sweet poem!

  14. Okay, the red truck and fresh snowfall pretty much win hands-down for perfect Christmas quilt setting. I'm impressed that the truck is so clean in all the winter conditions! Your quilts are so pretty, and I love the ones rolled in the tub! But my favorite has to be the bed with the stocking pillow. I just want to crawl in and snuggle up! Your sweet babes are beautiful, enjoy the holiday with them and all the others!
