Hi Quilting Friends!
Welcome to Day 8! I hope that you’re having fun with our “12 Days of Christmas” series.
Today’s project features this cute little raccoon, another contestant in the “Ugly Sweater Contest”. Raccoon’s sweater has a great big snowman on the front!
I decided to use the raccoon applique block to make a second placemat to pair with my colorful Christmas owl placemat. Since they are a pair, I used the same fabrics that were used to make the owl place mat, and then finished it in the same way.
Here’s a picture of the finished raccoon placemat and the matching owl place mat:

Happy quilting,
Sharon

With just me and my dad, I don’t decorate. He’s using a walker or wheelchair, with O2, so it makes it difficult for him to get around if anything gets changed.

We have our advent calendar, our tree, and our stockings, but not much else. I went all out decorating when the kids were growing up. But not so much anymore.

I decorate with a tree and dress up my mantle. There is a smaller tree in my kitchen. I also like to use my Christmas table runners and sometimes buy a poinsettia!

My husband & I use my quilted table runner/cloths, some kitchen hand towels/trivets, our stockings, tree & some old fence post snowmen we made years ago. Used to decorate lots when our kids were at home, not so much anymore.

I would use lights and a tree with a wreath on the door.
