I'm late. I should have posted yesterday but time just got the better of me. Here are my flowers (this week was red week). I bought my material for the path so I am going to work on putting the quilt together.

Early Bird Christmas Crafting

Another project for the box. I whipped these bon bon's up yesterday in no time. The pattern is by Hatched and Patched. I opted not to do the embroidery on them as I am going to put the person's name on them. Closer to Christmas all I have to do is fill them with chocolates.
