A little stack of Christmas quilts.
Santa Mug Day happened on Saturday. Eeeh! I pulled out 2 totes of Santa mugs . Not all are on display yet.
A few stacked on a cake stand .
Santa cookie jars and lots of little mugs. I even pulled out my raggedy celloid Santa ornaments and tucked them into some of the mugs.
A few mugs are nestled on a plate stand until I decide their final placement.

I enjoyed working on the Santa quilt so much and am looking forward to getting it into the hoop very soon. The embroidery has been a fun piece to work on . I hope Joy will show how she finishes hers this Friday. Thank you so much for the sweet visit, Ulrikes. Have a beautiful week.
DeleteYour Santa mugs make me smile, Melisa! Love the pictures of the leaves! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to pull out the Santa mugs, Robin. The vintage ones are getting harder to find in my area, but I do keep my eyes peeled for them. The photo of the leaves do not give the colors justice. I hope your trees put on a show of colors when the leaves were stil l present.
DeleteYour Autumn MSAL looks good. Have you thought about how you'll finish it yet?
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Susie. It has been a fun one to work on. I am hoping Joy will post what she does with hers. I can not decide if I want to frame it or make a mini quilt. More than likely it will be a mini quilt. Lol. Happy quilting.
DeleteJust did a little catch-up reading of your blog, you have been a busy girl. Love the Santa Mugs, I have a few, but not as many. The Quilt Leaves are a sure sign of Winter is on its way. Love the autumn colors!! Stay snug and warm, stitch away dear Melisa. Sending you warm hugs from sunny Arizona.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to stay a busy bee. The cooler weather definitely gives me an excuse to stay inside and stitch more. Lol. Have a wonderful week, dear Mary. Hugs and blessings.
DeleteI love your cute little Santa quilt!
ReplyDeleteOh thank you so much, Jenny. I would love to get it in the hoop this week. It just depends on how far I get along on my other quilting projects. Have a great week.
