Blue Christmas

I must admit.... I'm a little sad this Christmas.


My best friend is having a quiet Christmas in Maine.  Another confidant is facing life's issues in Pennsylvania.  A third is all the way in Boston. And my work cohort & quilt critic has moved to Utah.  So far away.


I do take comfort in my quilts, though.  My house is too small for a real tree so it's decorated with Christmas quilts & wallhangings.  Many of them in the gallery below came from my friend, Lisa, over the years.  Seeing them.... I can feel her spirit nearby.
















These are only a few of my holiday quilts. Every year I have to pick and choose what goes up.  About another dozen in the cedar chest and one more in the works.


Happy Stitching!

  1. All your quilts and wall hangings look so nice hung around the house. I have only just started my collection with some hand made tree decorations. I wish you Happy Christmas even though it may be quiet.

  2. Awww sweetie - I know it's hard when your friends are so far away.

    Your home looks so lovely and festive, I really love the quilts - especially the penguins and the log cabins take my breath away!
