Max the cat is just worn out from watching Jim and I put away Christmas decorations. I am so glad that chore is done, but it really makes the house look empty. We left out all the snowmen, so that helps a bit!
Barbara Brackman has started a new blog commemerating the 150 year anniversary of the Civil War. Check out her blog, every Saturday she will have a new block and story to share with followers. While Max took a much needed nap, I sewed mine up this afternoon. I am excited and hope to keep up with the blocks as she adds them, along with the history she will be sharing. Here it is:
And here is a near finish...a Schnibbles called "Figgy Pudding". The charm pack I used was Park Avenue. I really like the little "peppermints" in the center of each block.
It is ready to quilt...any suggestions?
With any amount of luck it should be done for next Christmas!

Love that Civil War block...I'll have to check into that...thanks so much for letting us know. Your Figgy Pudding is as cute as it can be.
I put all the decorations away this weekend and now the house is so boring!! My husband says I need more 'decorations.' Beware what he asks for! Love the snibbles. Something about red and aqua is so cheery and fresh!
