Another Xmas Tree!

These ladies really dived into the Christmas Spirit.  This was a Sew-a-long organized in Spain.  The way you choose your fabrics really makes things sparkle, don't you think?

Christmas Tree Sampler Quilt

Diana, a blogger from Spain just finished this Xmas tree sampler quilt.  She's just in time to quilt it !

Embroidering music

Nowadays we download music with just a click but I still enjoy the pleasure of going through the CD companion booklet this one was such a surprise. 

The album is called PIRATA written and performed by the Brazilian contralto singer Maria Bethania. By the way she's Caetano Veloso's sister. 

The embroideries on the booklet depict the lyrics of each one of the songs.  They were embroidered by Antonia Zulma Dumont, inspired by drawings of Demostenes Vargas.

I made this adorable owl on a snowy day.
