This lovely piece was from my 12" Mini Swap partner Peg of Happy in Quilting, Wrapped up so nice (saving that tiny dot grograin ribbon) and a cute little reindeer ornament. A sweet card - my first Christmas card! I just love this and it fits my decor so perfectly. Thank you Peg. (Did you notice those tiny buttons eyes? Squeel!!)
And the next mini from Konda's Mini Quilt Along - worked up so quickly. An 18" Criss-Cross Applesauce done up in a Bernatex "Heritage" prints charm pack. Now to find a backing, binding - know how I want to quilt it.
And I did hang my Sulky Wonky Christmas Village - 30" x 36". This has beads and metallics in it, so I can't really press it - my SIL is going to bring down her steamer and maybe that will straighten it out. For my new followers, this piece was finished when I first started blogging and one of my first paper-pieced projects. This is to be a project to share with my grands - decorating a house each year. I have my box of little 'goodies' for when my grandsons visit next. Maybe they will work on Santa's Workshop this year.

CLOSING THOUGHT
We were in the 60's yesterday! BUT overnight, a suddon drop, rain and wind, and then wonderous snowflakes.
Snowflakes
by Linda A. Copp
Snowflakes spill from heaven's hand
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winters night.
Lovely and chaste like smooth white sand.
A veil of wonder laced in light
Falling Gently on a winters night.
Graceful beauty raining down
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that's spun afar.
Giving magic to the lifeless ground.
Each snowflake like a falling star
Smiling beauty that's spun afar.
Till earth is dressed in a robe of white
Unspoken poem the hush of night.
Unspoken poem the hush of night.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Good morning, Sharon. What a delightful post to read as I sit in my quilting chair enjoying a hot cup of coffee. Your little quilts are beautiful and I can feel your Christmas spirit radiating from your house! Konda's mini looks like a fun one to do, and of course, Santa really makes my heart warm., and those little houses are adorable. Love your poem today!
All of these are great, but that wonky village is my favorite! It's wonderful!!!
They're all wonderful! It's nice to hear you like the snow, most people complain but for me I love it, of course I don't actually have to live with it,LOL. Have you tried hanging the quilt blocks on a skirt hanger in the bathroom? It may take a few showers, but it's worked for me.
Beautiful minis, Sharon! Can't help but LOVE the wonky houses! My absolutely favorite!

Your Wonky Christmas Village is beautiful--such a cute idea to decorate it with your grandchildren!! Julierose
I love your wonky village!! That is so cool. I saw on the news where you all were going to be 20 degrees cooler this morning. Congratulations on getting snow!
Beautiful projects.Love all them.My fav is the wonky village!
I live in a snowless area and today is a windy day.
All your minis are so fun! We were warm, warm, warm yesterday. Windows open warm. Almost ready to turn on the a/c warm! LOL! My sisters and I had a lovely getaway weekend and took the bus to NYC on Sunday -- it was very warm there, too. Hard to appreciate all the Christmas stuff when temps are in the 50s/60s! :)
Your little quilts are darling. I especially love the last one. What a fun quilt!!
You are so lucky to be the repitient of Peg's gorgeous Mini...
I also love your Wonky houses ...

What a treat...eye candy, for sure! Love all of these, and the poem was wonderful. Hope all is well at your end. :)
Such a lovely mini from Peg. I just love your wonky village!
Love your HO! HO! HO! and your Wonky. So very cute!!!!
Love Peg's MiNi and the wonky house hanging. Lovely festive items for Xmas. :)
I love your Santa and I REALLY love your Wonky house quilt , that is adorable!
I wrap my small Christmas quilts around a foam noodle (made for swimming pools). I cut it to fit the largest of the small quilts. They don't wrinkle now.
The minis are great. I love the wonky houses. Is there a pattern for this quilt? I would love to make something like this.
Those wonky houses are wonderful!! And snow? You lucky girl!! Whoop whoop!!
I *love* those houses!
So pleased you liked my little mini, had fun making it for you.....and your wonky village is amazing....
I love your little Santa "hanger" but am in love with your Christmas VIllage. I can't wait for my vacation coming up....I want to get sewing again!!!
Thanks for sharing this post again. Your Village looks like such a fun project. I'm wondering what it looks like now that you've had a couple more years to decorate the houses.
