My last stitching of the year is done, the challenge journal quilt for December. The text is from Longfellow's poem, The Rainy Day, and reads, "into a life some rain must fall". I'm hoping for less rain and more sunshine next year.
I included fabric from November's quiltlet and also fabric from January's quiltlet, to give a full cycle of pieces. I shall try and take a picture of all twelve journal quilts together in the next couple of days.

Now though, it is time to put the needles and scissors away and celebrate Christmas. I have already had a lovely lunch out with my family and tomorrow I shall be cooking a Christmas lunch for big grandson and his parents. It's going to be a quiet season. DS and DiL will be with Jessica's parents and DD is in Germany. The awesome Sam is with his father this Christmas so we will have a celebration with him when he returns home. Of course there are people missing this year and I know I am not alone in expecting some poignant moments. I send my love to everyone who has lost a special person during this year.
sending you virtual hugs, Lis. Hope you have a lovely holiday season with lots of real hugs and family to share the memories with. Love your monthly journal quilt, am thinking about trying to do something similar but haven't made the mental commitment yet.
ReplyDeleteYour monthly journal quilt is such a neat idea - so meaningful. And beautiful. Merry (quiet) Christmas to you!
