TTT Christmas Celebration

This year, the TTT gang decided to exchange Christmas presents. And today was the day! I had bought an issue of Quilting Arts magazine that had a lot of gift ideas. After looking through it, I decided to try to make mirrors based on the one in the magazine. Of course, mine look nothing like the one there and I did change the way it was constructed. It called for using heavy card stock as the foundation for the mirror itself and the quilted fabric. That just seemed too flimsy to me, so I used foam core--which was really too thick. On the next go-round, I think I'll use masonite which is thinner, but also strong. And, fortunately for me, I am blessed to have a husband who is more than willing to cut out that masonite into the sizes and shapes I want.
Here are some of the mirrors I made:




They were a lot of fun to design and create.







I took a picture of the TTT trailer with all of the gifts laid out--before we opened them but the gremlin got into the picture and it didn't turn out. However, I did capture the unwrapping process. Although it's not the best photo in the world, I think you can see that we were having a great time discovering what was in each package. For a detailed list of what each person made and for a look at Corky's beaded scissor fobs, please go to: http://fiber-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/12/christmas-is-in-air.html. All in all, it was a most wonderful day!
