This year was a very special Christmas for our family.\u00a0 All 12 of the members of my family were able to celebrate together\u00a0on Christmas Day!\u00a0 We did have to wait for two members of my family to get off work before we could eat our turkey dinner, but the important thing was that we were all able to be together.<\/p>\n

To commemorate this occasion, we took a picture.\u00a0 Well, actually, we took several pictures!\u00a0 It took some time to get all 12 people to be looking the same way, not be talking, etc.\u00a0 We were a bit challenged because of limited space in\u00a0our living room, but we managed to get a decent picture in the end.<\/div>\n

Pictured, standing in the back row, left to right:\u00a0 my husband, myself, my son, my son’s finance, my daughter’s fiance, my daughter, my nephew, and my brother.\u00a0 Sitting in the front row, left to right:\u00a0 my niece, my dad, my mom, and my sister-in-law.<\/div>\n

Years ago, (I am not sure how many exactly, let’s just say many years ago) my mom and I were at a local quilt show.\u00a0 My mom spotted a table runner that she just loved.\u00a0 She purchased the kit and I brought it home.\u00a0 I pieced the top right away and then the project sat on the shelf….for years.\u00a0 While going through some things in my studio before Christmas, I came across the unfinished table runner.\u00a0 I decided I would finally quilt the runner and then surprise my mother with the finished product in her stocking at Christmas.\u00a0 My mom was surprised when she opened up the runner–truth be told, it has been so long since she purchased the runner, she likely forgot that it existed!<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I also came across a runner kit that I bought from the same shop during a shop hop one year–poppies instead of sunflowers.\u00a0 My kit is still in the plastic.\u00a0 *Sigh*\u00a0 Maybe I will finish my table runner in 2012!\ufeff<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
