So, you’re not going to believe this but I was sick on Christmas Day and didn’t take ONE picture. I still can’t believe it. I have video of the whole thing but I’m usually the picture taker and I forgot to take the pictures.
I did take a couple of pictures of the table runner that I made for my little sister, Melissa. We decided to do something different this year and we chose a theme for this year. “Home for the Holidays” was the theme. We could do whatever we wanted, whatever WE thought “Home for the Holidays” meant. Well, my sister loves to quilt too, so I knew she would love this. (I hoped she would love this…LOL!)
I got the pattern from PS I quilt . I went to her etsy shop and purchased the pattern and she emailed me with it. Seriously really easy. Although I forgot the ric rac that was supposed to go on it. (And I had to rip out the binding twice because I forgot how to do the mitered corners!) Yeah, then I googled it and looked at a tutorial and remembered. Bleh! I was NOT a happy camper at that time. That was a LOT of picking out!! But it’s SO cute isn’t it. The line of fabric is “Figgy Pudding” and I am in love with it!!! So, I got more!! I can’t wait to make some more things with it! Wouldn’t it be cute as a wall hanging for Christmas?
The day after Christmas we went down to my parent’s house in Hesperia, Ca. Every one of my brother’s and sister’s were there with ALL the kids. (Well, one was missing, my niece Meghann….she was working) It was SO much fun! Even though I was sick. It was really crowded too. My parents don’t have a really big house and their living room had 23 grandchildren and 7 children and spouses in it!! Amazing!!!
Picture above is of all my sisters and sisters-in-law. Left to right is: ME,Christina(John’s wife), Becky, Melissa, Yvonne. Front left to right: Laura, and Lahren (Will’s wife) . It was so fun to have everyone there! We had a really good time! Lots of fun gossip time. Okay, we really didn’t gossip about everyone, but we were having some good talking time! LOL!
Do you see the fireplace behind us? I LOVE that fireplace! Someday I’m going to have a fireplace with either stone or brick. A huge focal point. I don’t know why I love them so much, but I do. Here in Vegas the houses are too contemporary to have something like that. I hate contemporary. I don’t mind modern but I really DON’T like contemporary.
Well, I’ve got to go party hearty with the chitlin’s for New Years Eve, so I’ll see ya later!

So sorry that you was sick for Christmas. Thats the pitts. Maybe you could take pictures off the video. I know it is possible. I love the table runner. It is beautiful. Soooooo proud of you! Glad you had a blast In sunny CA!
Oh Julia! I Am with Judy. So sorry you were so sick. Thank goodness you were with family though. Then all your kids could just play around with their cousins. My parents house is just like your parents when it's full of all the kids and cousins. So fun!
Loved the table runner too!
And I like the picture of you all in front of the fireplace. I too am not into contemporary. I love the homey feeling and look of fireplaces.
Hope you are feeling better! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
your table runner looks great!!!
