New Christmas quilts

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is having Christmas blankets. When we were little, our mom made us each a Christmas quilt. We would get them out on Thanksgiving night and then be able to have them on our beds until New Years Day. I've carried that tradition on with my kids and this year, Lindsey and Jack both got new quilts. They were so much fun to make and when I check on them after they have gone to sleep, I just love seeing them snuggled until their blankets.

What a great tradition. If they are anything like the quilt you made for Amelia, I'm sure they are fabulous!

They are sooooo beautiful!!!! I love them and the fabric is so cute! I am beginning to think you are the most talented woman in the world! ;-) I need to make a Christmas quilt for our family before I even tackle the kids. All four of them have the warm blankets you guys gave them a couple of years ago and they are all covered up in them in their beds right now!! We love your tradition too!

Your Thanksgiving pictures were sooo cute and they even made me choked up. We missed you guys so much for the holiday but I am soo glad you got to literally be surrounded by so many love ones and got to enjoy the holiday home for once! We love you tons!!

Those are beautiful! We do Christmas blankets too but ours aren't quite as elaborate...but they create memories nonetheless!
