Twas the Night Blog Hop

A big thanks to



A very pretty apron, embellished with ric-rac:

A mini-quilt with a lovely flower:
A clever tree made from folded fabric (front and back view):
The absolute sweetest cardinal pincushion:
And to top it off she included a Mormon Tabernacle Choir Holiday CD; and she sings in the choir!









The mug rugs measure 6" square, and have the same holly design.
And here's the pattern/instructions to make both!
Thanks in advance for leaving a comment (I will reply, unless you are a no-reply blogger and don't leave me an email address), and please visit everyone else on today's list and for the rest of the hop:
