Do You See Week 39 Nativity

This week’s block reflects the true meaning of Christmas. It is the simple, humble nativity scene. Playing with the Creche was one of my favorite things at Christmas. It was my job, for a time as the youngest of 5 children, to move the three Wise Men a little closer each day. It took a lot of planning… figuring out how far they could move around the living room but not arrive too soon. I’m sure my mother knew this kept me occupied and kept me away from that little nativity. But I took the job very seriously!

Color Wheels Pattern Now On Craftsy

OH BOY! OH BOY! I love adding new quilt patterns to my Craftsy site. I have gone into the archives for this one… My Color Wheels Quilts was done in my classes a few years ago and was very popular. This design was sparked by the Sidewalks in Olde Towne Orange here near where I live in Southern California. It’s a great area to visit, filled with little antique shops and great eateries, just a wonderful place to spend a pleasant day. (more…)
