HOPE for Christmas:)

HOPE

I don't know where my

grandpa got his love of candles

but it passed down to my

mother and to me.

For years one of my shopping

highlights was going to 

Yankee Candle every season

to see what new wonderful

candle décor was available.

Being brought up Catholic

there were many opportunities 

for candle lighting.

Once old enough to light my

own candle in thought or 

remembrance of another was

a big deal for me.

I enjoyed the ceremonial aspect

 of lighting the candle then 

kneeling to prayer.

Then there were the Advent candles

every Christmas season and the 

Easter wreath as well.

I do believe most people 

have a fascination with flame.

On to the quilt:)

Easy 4 patches shown above

helped make this little piece 

everything I wanted it to be. 

Small enough to be a weekend 

project with that bit of 

holiday charm to it.

No reason it can't be done 

in blue to celebrate our 

Jewish friends as well.

Of course, we all know

I made mine by hand:) but 

the instructions are written

for fusible so you can 

be ahead of the gift-giving season.

THANK YOU

 QUILTER'S WORLD for

publishing this gift of Hope:)

 ~Enjoy this gift of HOPE

for you and yours this season

and everyday~
