Christmas Items



Earlier this year when my husband's Grandma dropped off some fabric for me I found half of a little girls Christmas dress. A month or so later I found the other half and put them in a box of holiday fabrics. I pulled out the box a few days ago when I made the wall quilt my husband wanted. So yesterday, I finally got the dress sewn together. I was hoping that it might be the right size for my youngest daughter but it was not. Now I have to figure out who I know that would be the right size or I will end up giving it to the Airman's Attic on base for anyone to pick up. Or I can make or buy a life size doll to dress it in it. Most likely I will just give it away as a gift.



Some more of the fabric panels that Grandma gave me was a pillow and applique panel. I made the pillow up and do not really have anything to put the other pieces on. I decided that I would use them as window decorations for Christmas. Usually my windows get crocheted snowflakes but with so many windows in the front of my house I can use more then just snowflakes. I put the appliques onto some felt and plan on hanging them in the living room windows since we have six large windows there. The matching pillow is staying on my living room couch. The snowflakes that I have will be put in the windows in my entryway this year. I only have about ten so they would look funny in the living room windows, I plan on making more but for now this will work.
