Fun Friday Finish

 And I do mean fun!!  On Wednesday afternoon I had nothing that needed doing so I started on a very fun project.  Just look at those adorable polka dots that make up this Ohio star block, it's pretty small and so cute! 

So a dear sweet friend thought I needed something to look forward to at the end of this year's fast and furious making for my Etsy shop.  So she gave me this kit.  I could hardly wait until I was done with all those runners so I could have free time. I really wanted to wait until I could take my time and really enjoy making it. Ahhhh it felt great!!!  The pattern is by Carried Away Quilting. 

Here is the start of my letters. There are lots of small pieces but they all came together so easily. 

All of the letters and the cute little star were awaiting the next step which was the borders. 

And then on Thursday I tackled the quilting. At first I was just going to stipple the whole thing but as I stared at it a bit, I thought to myself, no I have time and I want to do some custom quilting. Another so fun moment!!  

Meet my new Christmas pillow!!  I absolutely love it.

It could be used as a table topper or a wall hanging! 

It looks great on our couch with the snowman quilt behind it. 

It sure feels like Christmas/winter around here now... this is what we woke to Thursday morning. Super wet heavy snow.  The trees are still covered and light snow still coming down.  There are lots of places that received way more snow than us so we feel pretty lucky to have only gotten about 5" or so.
