thanksgiving star garland

This will be my dressers first Christmas in our home.
I am excited by the idea of some festive decorating.
(not yet started...susan! )
Not only is it useful for hiding stuff
but great for displaying recent makes.
This was always my plan for these stars
as I know the recipient has a dresser
and I think I know what she likes.
In fact these stars were rehomed yesterday
and now live with my friend Lisa
whom I call one of my fabric sponsors
because she ALWAYS has a bag of vintage goodies for me.

Life is a precious thing so get living.
 Friends are a special thing so get giving.
Clare

Happy Thanksgiving to you all

    So pretty, and I want a dresser. First I need a house that can fit one in though.

    a quilted garland! I so often seen fabric garlands, but not quilted. Great thinking! It turned out lovely, as usual.

    Ho, ho, ho! I love your stars and your little giving ditty! In your far away land that piece of furniture is called a dresser, and in my far away land, it is called a cabinet. Tis a grand garland Clare....giver of all good things!
