Little crazy quilts

Some of you will remember my moan awhile ago about how I managed to spill my glass of water onto some crazy-quilted postcards I was working on and how the ink ran on the images.  The surviving ones were completed and mailed out and I think they have all been received now, so I can show you. 



I'll share the rest with you over the next few posts.

Today your quote is from Norman Wesley Brooks..."Christmas is forever, not just for one day.  It's for loving, for sharing, for giving....not to be put away likes bells and lights and tinsel.  The good you do for others is the good you do for yourself."

    Your winter header is beautiful Mary Ann.
    And the little 'crazy' postcard is lovely.
    I like the quote, 'the good you do for others is the
    good you do for yourself'.
    Thank you.

    Gosh those were cards??? Wow - stunning! You must have a lot of patience - so many pretty details. I love the mitten idea with sweaters. I'll not worry about being organized haha so I'll skip that in favor of the peanut butter balls!
