This is my annual handmade Christmas ornament for 2012. Have a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

For my last blog post for 2011, I present my annual homemade Christmas ornament.

Welcome to another destination on the Canadian Christmas blog hop. This week, I present Spinning Star – a design that can be used any number of ways, including appliqued, quilted, and beaded – plus a recipe for our traditional Christmas Eve tourtiere. Thanks for stopping by!

Here is my annual handmade Christmas ornament for 2010. May your Christmas be filled with peace, joy, and love. Worthy is the Lamb.

Wishing you and your families a wonderful Christmas and all the best in the New Year. I will be taking next week off, but will return with my next post in the first week of January. And in case you were wondering, here is my annual ornament for 2009.

Decorating the Christmas tree is an event. For some, it is a family time with everyone taking part. Not so for us. My husband dutifully wrestles the tree into its stand every year, and then it’s over to me. I decorate the tree like I make a quilt: balancing colors and using elements to tell a story. Many of the ornaments I even made myself.

With the holiday season quickly approaching, I thought I would share one of my annual traditions. Every year, I make a fabric Christmas ornament for each of my neices and nephews. But I always make extra, because I have learned that they add a nice, personal touch to any gift.
