I haven't been able to post several of the things I've been working on lately. It's that time of year and I don't want to spoil anyone's Christmas gift. I'm not saying I'm the giver of all the things I've been working on, I'm just saying this elf has been busy! Since I can't post my busy work now, I'm posting my work from a Christmas past.
Last year I made this quilt for my oldest son, Drew. He lives on a small farm near Nevada, Missouri. I thought this quilt was quite fitting. I had Karen Woodcox embroider "Liles Farm, Established June 2009" to commemorate the year he bought his farm. Ironically enough, it is the same house his dad and I rented when he was a little boy. The house has since been added on to and completely re-modeled and doesn't even look or feel like the same place it was 25 years ago. I really didn't want to give it to him after all the hours I put in completing it. He was thrilled with it (well, as thrilled as a man can be about getting a quilt) and knows and appreciates the work the goes into making a quilt. Maybe someday I'll make another one for me! 
Great job!!! I fell in love with Eleanor's book and have made one quilt so far. It's call Stars and Stripes Allover.

I love Eleanor's books! She is such a neat lady to meet in person too! Also love your quilt. I'm a sucker for anything red, white, and blue! My favorite!
