Welcome to my table. My granddaughter learned to set the table this year. She did a great job! She is eight years old and very helpful. 
It's cold outside, but cozy in here! I love my wood stove. You get such a nice warm heat with a wood stove. This one heats my entire house quite well. And stocking the wood up, keeps me in shape over the winter! Now for that cup of hot chocolate.
The quilt top was made quite a few years by me as a store sample. I just loved the lively colors. Most of my customer's didn't, as it took a long time to sell these kits! The pieces were all pre-cut and you ironed them onto a fusible backing, then sewed along a fold line. It was quick and easy and gave very nice lines. The The corners were mitered, and I fussy sewed the binding so the blue stripe would show up. Because the quilt is so "busy", the panto "popcorn" was used as an all over design. A cheery quilt to cuddle in on a dreary day! I call it my "Happy" quilt. 
Mom's birthday blanket was so much fun to quilt. She is in her 80's and gets cold. So I thought two layers of polar fleece quilted together would warm her up! I used a navy Glide thread top and bottom. Turned out so very nice. She loves it!
Look at those trees! Wow. Went to town and had to stop to take a picture. These trees were beautiful. 
The batting is a 6oz polyester which made the quilt puffy and very drapey. Lots of practice with ruler work in the ditch of the log cabins. I used a Daisy design for the borders and in the corners. Thread was a purple Glide, top and bottom. Turned out nice and fluffy.
