Good Morning,
It was cold here early this morning, which always seems to come as a surprise here in Sunny Florida. So I stayed curled up under my covers until 9 am, when I discovered the chocolate covered donuts my DH had bought as a morning surprise for DD and I. By the time I unloaded a reloaded the dishwasher I didn't want coffee anymore so I made a cup of hot coco. I'm sure by now everyone is happily quilting away at their sewing machines and I'm the late gal, but that's okay.

Today I'm going to be continuing to quilt on my Peppermint Burst Quilt. If you haven't been following along this quilt is modified from
Sue's Starburst Quilt in her new Pick Four Book. Today marks the 4th day of quilting on this quilt and you can follow the above Peppermint Burst link if you wanted to see some additional pictures. Currently I have quilted the entire quilt from top to bottom. Skipping only the side borders, so this morning I will be putting the quilt back on my mid arm quilting frame turned 90 degrees to quilt the sides in one long line of quilting. I have four plain blocks which I quilted Gingerbread Houses into, unlike the candycanes and the gingerbread men in the border I did not stipple behind those and I was considering adding some scrolls or hearts above and below the Gingerbread houses as well. I wont get to close because I want the details to continue to stand out.

As you can see I haven't tucked in my threads but I will get to that. Have you wondered where Sunny and Tiny are? All these pictures and no cats? Well they're right here. Sunny is so glad I'm awake he's been enjoying a nap on my lap sleeping on his back just like a baby.

After more quilting, hopefully I'll be able to get started on binding this quilt, but I don't know if that will happen today. Sew Happy!

In the last couple of years, I've become enamored of peppermint designs. So, this quilt is really something I adore. You are doing such a fabulous job on it!!
This quilt is looking fantastic. I love the quilting you're doing, specially the Gingerbread houses.
Please could I borrow your DH for a morning, so he brings me some of those yummy looking doughnuts too?
Oh, what a great quilt!! Love it!
This is turning out to be one fantastic quilt. I love the gingerbread houses and the hidden Christmas tree, wonderful ideas for the quilting on this quilt.
No, you're not the latest on one. I'm in sunny Texas and it's not sunny here either. I haven't even posted my link yet and it's 11:00 am already. But I have been sewing...
Fantastic work you've done already.
What a lovely quilt! Sweet fur babies always are a help.
I love, love the fabric in your Peppermint Twist quilt. It's fun. Sunny and Tiny are cuties, as is your daughter.
I love your Peppermint Burst quilt - it is gorgeous! Your quilting is fabulous!
I'm knocked out by your quilting, Elizabeth! You are my inspiration!
Although I'm playing safe quilting in the ditch around the stars on Scatty Stars, I've pinched your idea of FMQ'ing stars, and will do so on the railfence blocks - the photos that you posted of yours have been scrutinised closely!
