The Happy Recipient of the Christmas Crumb Quilt

Marie is the happy recipient of the latest Christmas Crumb Quilt that was *up for grabs* at my family Christmas Party.  Just her colors~red, white and blue as she splits her time between her home on the Hill in DC and the country house in Virginia.  :)

It is my understanding that Marie wore her other red, white and blue quilt out by excessive loving!  :)

Enjoy, Marie!




ps.  Marie is my sister's dog and she gladly gave Marie the quilt to enjoy!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to you and yours, all my blogger friends!

*if you celebrate, that is!*

Have a Wonderful Day, Everyone!!!
