Hi, I'm so glad you've come by today!
I always enjoy your visit and the sweet comments that you leave.
Recently, I told you that I was making a quilt for my oldest daughter's Christmas gift.
Yes, the one whose home you visited on my last post.
It's finished now, so I want to show it to you.
It's a small lap quilt, meant to be a throw in her living room.
This shows the size of it better.
Hmmm... I really like it, the colours are perfect for my living room, I may have to make one for myself.
My husband has taken his vacation time and we are currently on the road. We're spending the night in Edmonton and will be in Ft. St. John to visit my sister tomorrow.
All of you wonderful people in the Eastern USA and Canada who are in the path of Hurricane Sandy are in our prayers tonight, please stay safe!!!
Hugs, Cindy
A special thanks to Marina for her thoughtfulness, she has awarded me the Versatile Blogger award.
I think all of my friends who visit me each week deserve this, so it goes to YOU.

The Christmas lap quilt is so cozy and cheerful. Your daughter is very fortunate. Another one would be just right for your decor, too. It would be comfy to snuggle under while reading a good book.

Oh so pretty.
I was hoping to get some sewing done for Christmas... but my machine is on the fritz. Story of my life.
You lap quilt looks so pretty.
I love it and know your daughter will love and appreciate it too!
Be safe in your travels. I'm praying for all along the east coast too.
Take care now. Pat
I'm sure your daughter will love it! Nothing more cozy than cuddling in a soft, warm quilt...and one that's made by mom makes it all the better ;)
Enjoy your trip and stay safe in your travels..
Hi Cindy,
Oh its so beautiful and its RED and white!!! Yeah I love red....You did a wonderful job and I think you should make yourself one too.
The quilt is going to look so pretty in your daughters lovely home.
Have a safe and fun trip, I can't wait to hear all about it.
Sending hugs, Elizabeth
You're very smart to get some gifts made this early. I'm sure your daughter will love the Christmas lap quilt. say hello to Fort St John for me. We were stationed there for almost 4 years and I've never been back. my favourite time of year there was the fall. Someday i'd like to visit again.
Safe travels to you. I think your daughter will be very happy with the quilt. My husband says cold weather makes the metal parts in his artificial knee chill his whole leg so he always covers up in cold weather. A lap quilt will be perfect for her.
She must not read your Blog. :)
The quilt is perfect Cindy and what a lovely gift. Destined to become a treasured heirloom. Enjoy your vacation and be careful!
It looks BEAUTIFUL, Cindy. Really well-made too. I love the warmth and snuggly look - the colours are just perfect! You are a clever clogs!!

Love, love, love it! Wish I was better at sewing!
Hi sweet Cindy and I hope you've had a great Sunday! Thank you for sharing your memories with me. I love this.
