Susan and her husband are so talented and your little red and white quilt looks so nice on their mantel. Your beanie hats look great! I never could get into crochet. Have fun making granny squares.

What a nice gift idea, especially in exchange for those wooden mice. Very cute too! I've only ever had a live tree to decorate. When your parents owned a Christmas tree farm (many years ago), it's difficult to consider a fake tree. Your real tree is sure pretty!

But if I had to choose, I guess the red and cheddar would win.<br />Those mice are cuties. When I worked at a private club for fly fisherman (just a little bit outside Yellowstone Park) one summer in my college years, there were always mice in the walls of the apartment for the hired help. Sometimes they would come out of the walls and one morning I found one sitting on my shoes, watching me get ready. I wrote about that to my family and for years afterward my family gifted me mouse figurines, so I know mice! LOL<br />Kudos to you learning a new skill. Actually--that summer when I worked at that club (on the banks of the Snake River), I crocheted a Granny Squares afghan. I made a lot of afghans in my younger years, but that was the only Granny Squares.<br />Your tree is beautiful. We haven't had a fresh one for many years. We used to get a Noble Fir. My MIL was from Canada and she always talked about how they used to go cut one down. She said the branches were so strong and the scent was wonderful She was right. We got them for a couple dozen years. They were great trees that could handle the weight of any ornament.Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-20002612287534069232020-12-18T19:32:56.676-05:002020-12-18T19:32:56.676-05:00Wow!

I just didn't have the heart to decorate this year, so I've appreciated seeing everyone's lovely trees. The snow makes a perfect scene for a Merry Christmas!

Germs be damned, we tore right through the wrappings! I can’t wait to display my little tree quilt (love the polka-dotty fabric) and look forward to poring over the new book, too. Thank you, my steadfast friend. You've made my Christmas bright.

I'm a fan of the red and white for Christmas!! <br />Oregon has many Christmas tree farms but most are being shipped overseas!(I don't blame them as they are making money at least) It is getting harder to find one here. You can always go out in the woods, but I'm over that. Yours looks relaly pretty. Now all we need is snow!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12460244411628464458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-54628220967162045632020-12-18T10:41:40.772-05:002020-12-18T10:41:40.772-05:00Red green and cheddar of course : )

For this season I'd choose the peppermint stick version though the cheddar one is a very close second. No shortage of Christmas trees around here, though we got the last Fraser fir at the farm we visited. How is Nutmeg around the tree? Sammy hasn't knocked ours over yet, more interested in the water in the tree stand than the ornaments or the tree itself.Quilting Babciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16225825007525655805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6259558187936840360.post-91610327471823369382020-12-18T10:36:27.223-05:002020-12-18T10:36:27.223-05:00What fun little quilts.

Normally I would choose the cheddar, but that bright mini is sensational with all that great stitching and I adore the little red and white one and the sweet backing! I say all 3! The tree came out beautifully. Funny, living in Maine I tend to forget how difficult it can be to find a "good" tree. We never bought a tree as kids but when when we moved to town we had to buy one for years. They are for sale everywhere but we always had our favorites. Now we just cut one down on our property in Georgetown. The herd needs thinning so it isn't wasteful and we bring it back down for the wildlife in January. Hope we get to chat on Tuesday!

And chrome yellow - still swooning on your recent Whig Rose quilt top. As for trees, I used similar ones in the Christmas stocking I finished last night for Karen's honey. Ian will see it tonight. I'm hoping he likes it! He's a hiking, camping kind of guy, so it should be a good fit. I'll post a picture of it on IG after he sees it.
