This lovely Potholder swap that our Fraser Valley Modern Quilt guild
is having with the Vancouver Modern guild has really added to the
season's excitement. I mailed out my potholders early this week and now
I await my potholders by mail.
Good old fashioned parcels in the mail! How sweet is that?

These are my potholders! I finished them on the Remembrance Day long weekend - I let them sit on my table for weeks! |

This was my inspiration! This is a 4 inch double hourglass block....I have made so many of these blocks, all sizes. I love them and plan to make a large vintage-vibe quilt. |

I love the Michael Miller 'fifties kitchen" fabric on the back! |
Ooh, this is the last day of November but my Christmas spirit is in full swing. I usually start to feel it's full effects when I need it most, like the week before December 25th. That is when I need that extra inspiration to get me through all my Christmas preparations. It works for me every year.
But my Christmas spirit arrived the last week of November this year. I am glad. I really want to savour this time - from the Christmas cards, the baking, the vintage craft markets, the get-togethers; and those wonderful long letters from dear friends.

I'm the lucky recipient of these beautiful potholders! I got your parcel in the mail yesterday and made myself finish off my own potholders before opening it. What a treat! I love that 50s kitchen fabric and the potholders are in Christmasy colours that are subtle enough to use them all year round.
Thanks so much!
