Merry Christmas to all - God Bless Us, Every One, whatever we celebrate!

One of the many blessings of living near Pittsburgh, PA is the opportunity to visit the Heinz Memorial Chapel, where some of the most amazing stained glass windows are installed.

Here is a link to the chapel, so you can enjoy your own tour of those famous chapel windows.

Many of the windows depict inventors, musicians, authors, scientists, and other inspirational people from Pennsylvania's history in addition to biblical and religious history.

If you have a chance to visit Pittsburgh, stop in the chapel for a dab of inspiration.

....and for those who are not celebrating Christmas, here are some other 'holiday wishes' for you.
I have always wanted to visit Stonehenge...

and if you are curious about Kwanzaa, I found an excellent explanation here.

Blessings on all those celebrating the feast of lights.

....and for those who are not celebrating anything in particular while the rest of us are singing and lighting candles and exchanging gifts....my sympathies.

Now, excuse me while I wrap that last homemade gift and put some cookies on a plate.

Happy Holidays to YOU!!!

the Christmas CanCan is a dance we all seem to be doing these days... Turn up your sound and enjoy the link!

I've been working some more on my Roll Roll Cotton Boll mystery quilt... still don't know what it will look like, but I'm starting to have fantasies about how all these parts will fit together...

I have HST's in one drawer:

 and little pink and green strips in another...

 and lots of little green and 'neutral' pieces in another drawer...

and 60 of these 8 inch lovelies in another drawer...........................
 

Now I'm thinking that these 60 blocks alone would make a good size quilt...
for instance:

but I really have no idea what these will end up like, so I may as well wait for Bonnie Hunter to tell me in due time... but being patient has never been my strong suit.

ah well, lots of holiday chaos to enjoy...

see you next time~!
