It has been a 3-days weekend, since I had some overtime to convert into free time. I was lucky on Friday, the weather was gorgeous and I went for a walk in the hill:

Eh wait, those are supposed to bloom in spring!

Yesterday was completely different, heavy with rain, and today was a mix of the two. This did not upset me since I wanted to play with needles. Indeed, when I saw Etta's Santa in Quiltmania by Sandy Gervais, I just wanted to make my own. And here it is:

I saw another Santa by Sandy Gervais in the winter issue of Quiltmania, I'm just as eager to make it...sigh...
Let's get prepared for the coming week. I hope yours will be good.

I love 3 day weekends! You have made good use of yours. We have Valerian growing wild in this part of NZ, in red, pink and white.
What beautiful day you had for a walk and a wonderful landscape. Love your Xmas quilt. Beautiful.

Your hill is a lovely place to walk.
I absolutely love your appliqued Santa quilt, Vero. You do such beautiful work!
We had a mix of sunshine and rain today as well. Our weather has been wintry lately but today's temperatures were mild, making a nice change.
I also love the scarves you made for your girls. What fun!
And the colors in your jeans applique are very pretty.
Oh, Vero. That valerian grows like a WEED here! What a blessing to have beautiful weather for your day off.
