The holidays are over; the house is quiet.
Caroline and her kitty flew off in a rainy haze this morning to return to Washington, DC . Above you can see Cosmo locked and loaded in his travel chamber, and none too happy about it. Will left early this evening with a car full of gear--he and his new band were playing for a house party tonight.
My kiddies Christmas 2006Tomorrow will be the day to un-Christmasize the house and to look ahead.
Two bits of unfinished business: two Christmas quilting projects completed.

This is the Mile-A-Minute couch quilt for Caroline, made from scraps of another quilt which is not yet completed. A bass-ackward way of working, but I can't deny that it seems to be my way of working.
This is a table runner made from Tree's Up orphan blocks. I was concerned about the directional nature of these blocks, and whether they work well when turned in different directions. I stewed about that for a few days, but in the end threw up my hands and just made the thing.
Those Christmas colors are so crisp and nice--they're still looking good to me. Thanks to a friend who generously shared a pattern, Christmas 2007 will be the year I finally make a new Christmas tree skirt.
Resolutions. Back with more of those when it's not 1 a.m.
Happy 2007 to all.

It all looks so wonderful. Where did you get the pattern for the tree table runner?
Cosmo looks so cute in his mode of transportation. ;p Good looking 'kiddies' you have there, girl! :) That quilt for Caroline is gorgeous with that black(?) sashing and border, and your runner is just delightful. I love the colors, and the direction of the trees is great! A job well done! ;p
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Kathie, I look forward to spending 2007 blogging along with you! All your projects look amazing, you always do such stylish work. Cosmo is such a great name for a kitty, and I'm loving his traveller!

I LOVE that table runner with the trees. I really need to make something like that. I think the blocks are perfect that way - doesn't matter at all that they are directional.
Sounds like you had a nice holiday and visit with your kids.

I don't know what you were worried about - the table runner is fantastic. And you finished the MAM quilt too - woooooohooooo. Poor kitty in jail - I feel for him.
