A small break in our series of the pilgrimage: Christmas decorations

 Hello, everyone.

Today, as I become aware that time is creeping up on us fast, I want to take a small break and show how the Jingle All The Way quilt and some other things were used in the decorations.


The Jingle All The Way quilt, in the living room, next to "the egg tree"--the one that almost all of the decorated eggshells end up on, plus other small things. There are beaded ornaments in different shapes and some acrylic faceted sparklies to reflect light.


This was brought from the old house. The tree shape is made up of Log Cabin blocks and the star is appliqued on at the top. The sides were made from various pieced squares that were either in stash already or made from stash. As the curtain rods for these are new this year, a new hanging pocket was needed.

Both of these fabric hangings are using Command Strips (heavy duty) and the red "velvet" yarn I found at Hobby Lobby to stay on the wall.


Detail of the main tree, showing the ostrich eggshell nativity and various other treasured memories.

I keep meaning to decorate the other ostrich eggshells in the house, but never get around to making decisions and getting started.
