To make these I added additional rows to some of the original Peppermint Purple stitch-along patterns. The edging is called the Nun stitch, which allows the edges to be frayed while keeping the stitching intact. For the most part, these were stitched in front of the fire on Texada.

I picked up the patterns and fabric for these dish towels when we were shopping this summer after our sewing session at Panorama. I’m pleased with how they turned out – even the back doesn’t look too bad.
The package also included some dish cloths. Kathryn was busy knitting dish cloths when she visited this fall but I assure you they were already on my list before I saw hers. Each package also included some scrubbies that I got from a friend.

I don’t know if Dave is a fan of pineapples but, living in Saskatchewan, I expect he dreams from time to time of a tropical vacation.
This was one of the first blocks released and, at the time, I thought it was kind of odd. It just shows that most blocks, once they are made, turn out okay.

I made luggage tags for everyone, including a couple for myself. They were a quick and easy project and for anyone waiting to spot their bags on a belt at the airport it is nice to have something unique to look for.
Perfect timing too as Christy and Kathryn head to Arizona for Christmas.
