Well, it is January 28 and I've about had it with snow. We have received 5 major storms this month and the piles of snow are getting out of hand. The need for sunshine is great and due to lack of it I decided to create my own. This piece was from Karen Neary and is called Yuletide Jewel. It was meant to resemble an old fashion glass Christmas ornament, but I saw it as a dream catcher and that is why I chose to use the color scheme I have. It also helps to bring a little sunshine in on a snowy and gray day. It was a lot of fun to sew and went together quickly. I quilted it on my domestic sewing machine and not "Little Gracey". I have a few more of Karen's patterns and look forward to creating them as well. Will hopefully finish the binding on my Jinny Beyer piece in the next few days and post it when completed.

  1. Hi, Jeannine: I love the bright colours in your Jewel - it does bring a needed boost. We are hearing more snow coming mid-week to Nova Scotia, I wonder if this is one more you are sending our way!
