This is what lucky me got in the mail yesterday:
My friend V made this for me!
Isn't this the most beautiful wall hanging you've ever seen? I sure think so.
Here is a close-up of the applique and hand quilting!
Here is where it hangs in the four-season porch off our bedroom!
Thank you so much my friend! I love it!
Edited later Sunday:
Here is the full photo of what I sent Victoria:
It's Amy Butler Birdie Sling with Denyse Schmidt County Fair in home decorator and Shade Garden by Henry Glass.

I never thought of Neptune as a Christmas fabric until I pulled all the coral strips out of the honey bun when I made this.
Well, they were exactly what I needed for these:
The Moda tutorial for Secret Santa stocking pattern can be found here. They are the perfect size to tuck in a little gift (candy, fat quarter, gift card).

And Audrey stopped over last night so she can wear her Holiday Happy Do-Rag Headband during the holiday season:
She's growing up so fast!
