Christmas Gifts . . .

I didn't get a lot of shopping done this Christmas . . . with all that's been happening with Mom . . . so I decided to give quilts to two of my sons and their wives . . .
this one is the "Patience Corner" pattern . . . I had made it a few years ago . . . and hadn't used it yet . . . so it was perfect to give away . . . I also knew it was colors one of my daughters-in-law really likes . . .
this quilt is from my first Sampler class . . . the theme of the sampler is called "Sweet Stuff" . . . and the colorway was named "Chocolate" . . . again I knew these colors were perfect for this couple's home . . . it was a UFO for a long while . . . and I managed to finish it in the last few weeks . . .
'
both couples really liked them . . . I think better than if I had bought gifts !!

things have been hectic with Mom the last month . . . but she is coming along . . . she's working so hard in her therapies . . . saying a few words and phrases now . . . and walking about 15 feet each day using a walker . . . it's slow . . . but she is progressing . . .

Hope you all have a wonderful holiday . . .
