JINNY'S QUILT IS DONE
I sewed the newly made binding onto the back, then pressed it to the side and top-stitched it down on the front. This quilt is done. I've been calling it Jinny's Beach Blanket. Terri Nussbaum who came up with this quilt design called them "Beach Blanket Bingo". I think this quilt deserves a better name. But, I can't think of anything. But, the fabrics I used that have the border prints on them are a Jinny Beyer fabric.
So it's Jinny's quilt, it is 55" by 72".
It is finish #18 for the year.

SNOW GLOBE ORNAMENT
I made a Snow Globe ornament for the granddaughter Victoria. She has been collecting them since she was young - real ones, not felt ornaments.
I got this pattern from whatacurlylife.com along with some more Christmas themed ornament patterns.
I gave it to her today when we went to her and her mother's place for Thanksgiving dinner. And a good dinner it was.
