Foto Finish: Holiday Decor

Today's theme for Photo Finish is Holiday Decor.  I made during one of the 2010 Christmas Quilt-a-long days last year for my cousin Giovanna.  It took all day.  Inset lace, and all kinds of heirloom stuff.  It's not what I'd normally make but I made it because it spoke to me about who she was.  My husband built a handmade poplar box and lined it with felt to keep it in and then we mailed it off.  Boy oh boy did we hear about that, don't do that again - you spent to much to mail it.  And so on.  But still it warmed my heart because I knew we'd made that for her.  She passed away this past summer and I'm glad we made those things and gave them to her and her husband last year.
