Dreaming of Christmas in Paris

I am dreaming of Christmas in Paris...


I made this Christmas quilt using soft edge applique technique. The pattern is 'French Roses' by Heather French. Fabric line is Holiday in Paris by Dena.

I love all of the florals, bows, colors and touch of whimsy with the line drawings. 


I added a small travel pillow with pink prairie points for a touch of color and a soft place to rest my head while dreaming of Christmas in Paris!


What a dream to spend the holiday in Paris. It's on my list of to-do's in my lifetime. 


I even added on my to-do list for the coming months to brush up on my French. I have my language cd's out and have time scheduled on my calendar for study and practice. It has been a while since college days but taking a first step to re-learn the language will bring me one step closer to my dream.


Joyeux Noel!

    A pretty quilt and travel pillow that would be nice on the plane as you fly over to Paris. It is on my wish list as well. You never know when a door will open and offer opportunity.
