Quilty Christmas Gifts

Amanda's quilt was well received as well:

 

This is my sister, Jennifer. She lives in Vacaville, and was able to visit for Christmas. She is a talented photographer and took this picture of her husband Steve and son, Bradford.

 

I made the photo pillow for her! Don't you just love the Christmas ribbon fabric on the edges and back?

My darling great-nephew is the youngest child in our family, and reminds me to "keep it simple":

We hosted Christmas Eve as mom lives with us now and we knew it would be best to celebrate where she was most comfortable! So we had approximately 40 people over! I think a good time was had by all!
