To-Do #2
I finished the Christmas Present dresser runner and on Sunday decorated a table-size metal Christmas tree with the runner underneath and a Christmas Baubles mini quilt behind it. It definitely looks festive but also busy (which is usually not my style, but I make an exception for Christmas because of all the fond memories associated with the various ornaments).

To-Do #3
And for my squirrel project (for anyone not familiar with squirrel in the context of quilting, it is a project that one had not planned on making but all of a sudden jumped to the top of the to-do list), over the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I finished two Little Llama mini quilts (pattern by Elizabeth Hartman), each measuring 15.5″ x 20″ that I took to my office yesterday. The ugly tan paint on the wall isn’t the best backdrop for photographing them, but they still make me smile every time I look at them. I named them after my parents. The first one with the turquoise Christmas Carols background is Cleo, and the second with the red background is Jack.

Quilting is in my Blood 
You had a great week of finishes, Mary! The Christmas Present runner is perfect for that spot, and I think your display on it is so fun. I really like the metal tree! Those llamas are adorable – what a great way to decorate your office – I bet everyone who comes in will smile.

Hi Mary! I love, love, LOVE Cleo and Jack. Their faces are just so precious – they would make me smile every time I looked at them too. Maybe I need to make a set representing my parents. That would be a fun project, just thinking about the perfect fabrics to use. How fun! And your present runner is just perfect, too. I’ve never seen a metal tree like that but it is certainly festive! Good luck with this week’s projects. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

What goodies! I love the Christmas Baubles mini quilt peeking through that wonderful metal tree, and the runner turned out beautiful. But those llamas! Oh my goodness I love them! I’d steal those from you if I worked in your office – lol! 😀
Thank you for linking to To Do Tuesday!

Such fun eye candy. I can’t decide which is my favorite — the Christmas Presents or Cleo and Jack. It’ll be fun to have them at work with you. Much better than beige walls!
