There were thirteen of us in the bee - from the United States as well as England and New Zealand. Every month, each of us made a block for a member and a different member made a block for us. The house design was to represent that month.
Isn't this December block wonderful? Notice the fabulous wreath on the door, the tree in the window (as well as the trees outside), and the "Merry Christmas" in the upper left hand corner of the block.
This quilt hangs in my classroom and is a favorite of my students. It adds so much color and joy.
December Leaves
The fallen leaves are
cornflakes
That fill the lawn’s wide
dish.And night and
The wind’s a spoon
That stirs them with a swish,
The sky’s a silver sifter
A-sifting white and slow,
That gently shakesOn crisp brown flakes
The sugar known as snow.

I have a wreath, but it's on our porch post.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't put a wreath on my door.
ReplyDeleteBut I am feeling that maybe one day I will see a design I like.
We have wreaths on the front door, the back porch door and the garden bench.
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a decorator. I have a few things besides the tree and socks hanging from the mantel; nothing on the door.
ReplyDeleteThis year, my granddaughter brought a sparkly red wreath and hung it on my door. I will have to find a different door for the usual green one... or maybe a window?
