Christmas Eve Visit

I hope your hearts are filled with joy and peace this Christmas Eve. Let's visit a little while. I'm pouring you a cup of tea/glass of wine (virtually..so I know it's your favorite). I hope you and your families are well. We are all fine. Our older son moved 800 miles away to Nashville two weeks ago. He likes it there, and I can call him now and then too. I can't imagine how people managed without phones. It's so wonderful to be able to pick up the phone and check on your loved ones.

Isn't this a pretty string block arrangement above? It's the Block of the Month for my guild for January. Coming up with the blocks is my job. This is my third year and I really enjoy it. I like the color recipe for this one: red, pink, orange, and yellow. Any or all. Nice warm colors for January. It's so easy, this is a very relaxing sewing project. See the BOM site if you're a quilting newbie. I hope you have time this week to do all your favorite things. Hugs to you.
