Christmas Quilt Conquest

My Christmas quilt is all done and tucked away awaiting its Christmas debut (which will be here before we know it!).  Technically, it was done late (I had planned to have it ready for this past Christmas), but I prefer to think of it now as being done early for this coming Christmas. :)  What a traveler this quilt was...the fabric was purchased, cut and partially sewn in New York (the wallhanging is what my grandma made while we were together)...

...the piecing finished in Georgia, then borders added and short-arm quilting done in Florida...

 ...the binding partially sewn on in Florida and then finished on the way home to Georgia...

...and now washed and tucked away here at home!

Also finished is this quilt that my mom and I sewed together as a "mystery quilt-along" on New Year's Day.  We got more clues/instructions each hour without knowing what our end goal was -- it was very fun!  My mom took it home to back/quilt/bind it and now it's living at my house.

It is so wonderful to have finished projects to share instead of more UFOs!!!
