If you are new to my blog, welcome!
My name is Renee and today I have two projects to share with you.
One of my passions is crazy quilting.
This year, I am participating in a crazy quilted
Holiday Fabric Postcard Swap through Crazy Quilting International
(an on-line group on both Yahoo and Facebook.)

I had so much fun piecing, embroidering and beading this postcard that I may have to make a couple more!
I do hope the recipient likes it.
My second project warms my heart.
To me, Christmas is all about family.
Every year, we host a Christmas brunch at our house.
Later in the day, we head over to my in-law's home for dinner.

On Christmas morning, my boys only open their stockings before their grandparents arrive. While they were still with us,
the boys' great-grandparents joined us, too.
I am so thankful for the warm memories with them.

One year, the roads were too icy for our guests to join us for brunch.
I tried to cheer my boys up by pointing out they would not have to wait until 8 or 9 to open their gifts.
I guess we did something right. Neither of them cared about opening their presents without their grandparents being there. Luckily the roads cleared enough for our Christmas dinner!
I am thankful our boys know Jesus is the reason for the season and time with their family is cherished.

In 2013, I made my first crazy quilted Christmas stocking and claimed it for myself. My youngest son surprised me by asking me if he could have it last year. I offered to make one for him instead.
So, I pieced and embellished a stocking featuring scenes
from fabric I have had for years that I believe is
from a line called "Christmas is for Families".
I truly enjoyed adding details to this stocking I thought my son would enjoy.
I am happy to say, my son likes it.
Above is the front. Below is the back.
I do hope you will stop by the other blogs presenting today.
