All Appliques Done!!!

I am so thrilled to be done with the 60 appliqués on all 6 stockings. I would like to put pictures up, but I am still trying to get them done. What an experience, working on all those little pieces and ironing them all on. I am now working on some embellishments, and then comes the quilting before I can complete them. I have learned a lot through all of this.

I have my friend Kristi to thank for providing me with the pattern and lots of advice. I also have her to thank for a recent trip to Houston, TX, that she took me and our friend Darcy on. We had a lot of fun walking up and down all of the many isles at the Quilt Festival. It was my first time to Houston, and I am glad I went. Wow! It's hard to believe how warm it was there when we had such cold weather in Denver. We got to learn some new techniques and buy some great stuff while we were there. Staying with her dad and stepmom was very nice and wonderful to get to know them. Patsy made us this amazing mexican meal of enchiladas (my favorite). It was great! Thanks Kristi!!!
