...and a Partridge in a Pear Tree

Brrrrrr.... it is still SO c-c-c-cold out there! The mercury dipped down to 8 degrees last night... we are wearing wool and fleece today, I guarantee it!

I was also wearing wool last night, in the form of my little Partridge penny rug, and despite having cold fingers, I finished it...

backed by a simple cotton print...

I am so happy with how it turned out! A few have encouraged me to offer it as a pattern, and I am thinking about it, but I need to do a little research first.

Oh, and do you see the fabrics underneath the finished rug? Another Christmas decorating inspiration in the form of an applique quilt... I'll share it with you, but only IF it turns out how I want it! This is another first for me, but once the idea was burning in my brain, I just had to give it a try.

Beth, it's beautiful! I love appliqued quilts but quilting is a thing I've never tried. It looks so difficult.

So beautiful! I love how you finished it too. It would make a great pattern for you to sell!

I was thinking "pattern Beth, pattern" because we ALL know you could. We've seen you blossom and you do an amazing job! Nice pennyrug finish, Beth.
