eye of the wolf

last november i posted about a quilt that i started for Auntia's christmas present ... i had a few flying geese made and i didn't think there was any possibility of it becoming a full-grown quilt by december 25 ... there was too much to do - christmas baking and christmas decorating and christmas card writing and christmas shopping and christmas present wrapping and christmas program attending and all the christmas stuff that fills up the month of december...

i made pizzelles one cold morning - and that was the extent of my christmas baking ... i hung the christmas wreath on the front door and changed the flamingo into his santa outfit - and that was the extent of my christmas decorating ... i couldn't find the christmas cards that i bought the day after christmas last year - so Auntia gave me some of her leftover cards from the past few years and i managed to write my name and address a few very few times ... christmas shopping was almost nonexistent and Auntia wrapped the few presents that we did buy and might have paid for by next christmas ... i did manage to attend the two winter programs that three of my grandbabies were in although the last one was a close call since i didn't know about it till the evening before the day of ... and when i wasn't doing christmas stuff and daily stuff - i worked on Auntia's quilt...

and i actually finished it in time for christmas morning...
rollo and pack
the backing is a wolf-print flannel ... thousands of amber eyes staring at me while i was sewing down the binding...i've had enough of wolves, lemmetellya
but they did inspire the name...every breath you take and every move you make
i'll be watching you was my last finish for 2010 ... Auntia was my last finish for 1986

tomorrow is january's FNSI ... woo hoo!!!
