<span style="font-family: "dean martin";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Dear
Friends and Family,</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "dean martin";"><span style="font-size: medium;"> As
2016 draws to a close, we wanted to give you an update on our family.
Tommy is still busy working away on his archery shop, Upshot Archery,
and opened a second shop recently, Spotless Lion, for leather goods
not related to archery. Tommy continues to be a model of efficiency
and productivity continually making modifications to tools and
systems that aren't operating at 100%. Unfortunately these strategies
have yet to take hold with the rest of the family. Tommy is our rock
and serves our family joyfully.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "dean martin";"><span style="font-size: medium;"> Jessica
spends her time considering wearing earplugs during the day and
wondering where all the food and socks went. She continues to teach
little people how to communicate their hopes, dreams and feelings.
Jessica also homeschools her oldest and dreams up new products for
Spotless Lion.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "dean martin"; font-size: medium;">David, who turned 2 in September, loves to climb. He also loves to say “No!” David's imagination is precious, especially when he feeds his beloved stuffed dog “Ruffy” his brother's leftover lunch. (<i>we didn't include this specific picture of David on our Christmas cards, but loved it so much we wanted to include it here</i>)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "dean martin"; font-size: medium;">Caleb, whose first birthday is/was (depending on when you read this) December 19, is following fast in his brothers' footsteps, literally. He is walking, despite their best efforts to keep him down. Caleb keeps us humble, continually reminding us that what worked for his brothers, may not work for him.</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "dean martin"; font-size: medium;">We
are so thankful for Jesus Christ and his sacrifice for us. Because we
have found forgiveness in him, he no longer holds against us our
parenting blunders, our unkind words, our temper tantrums, or the
food eaten out of frustration. Colossians 1 says we are reconciled to
him, without blemish and free from accusation. This baby Jesus who
left the peace of heaven over 2000 years ago to be born in a wicked
world is the same Jesus who took the punishment and shame resting on
our shoulders. This man, Jesus, is still wooing us today.</span></div>

It's hard to believe Thanksgiving has already come and gone. We chose not to travel this year but to stay home and make days worth of food. I made dressing from scratch for the first time, and I am a convert. It was so much better than the boxed stuff. I used this recipe here <a href="http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/cornbread-dressing-6/print">http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/cornbread-dressing-6/print</a>/ and put it into 4 smaller pans, two of which I froze. I also made rolls from scratch, but didn't feel like they got a good rise, probably because it was so cold when we made them. Tommy had no complaints though.</div>

Eli is army crawling and pushes up on his hands and tip-toes. He is absolutely in love with his brother Daniel, and I'm pretty sure the feeling is mutual. Eli loves to eat baby food and drink from his sippy cup. Most days he takes 2-3 naps and sleeps 10-12 hours at night, usually waking once to nurse. </div>

I have several quilty things to show, including a couple recently finished quilts, and one top and a few older finishes that still have not made it to the blog. This week is packed with errands to get us ready for our vacation to Sea World this weekend to celebrate Daniel's 5th birthday!</div>

This is my very first go at paper piecing. It is the botm for my guild. While I don't anticipate using much of this method anytime soon, it was nice to try it out. Tommy held my hand through it and told me that according to physics I was using imaginary numbers. Mhmm. </div>

Last week my friend <a href="http://www.joliemaxtin.com/" target="_blank">Julie </a>picked up this kaleidoRuler for me; it is a must for cutting these blocks!</span></div>

I considered going for an ombré effect in the quilt but after seeing these fabrics in black and white I realized that there's not nearly enough contrast in their values to do that. So I'll just sew at random and save ombré for another day. </div>

I must admit I am a little hesitant, because, what if she's better than me; or what if she realizes that it's not always all *that* hard, or what if I feel the need to do some sympathy fabric shopping?<br />
<br />
Regardless, I thought it would be nice to share some good resources, and a couple favorite blogs. There are tons and tons of great quilting blogs, but I limit myself or else I would get nothing done because I'd spend all day scouring the internet.<br />

One of the first blogs I remember reading was <a href="http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Crazy Mom Quilts</a>.<a href="http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2013/04/studio-follow-up.html" target="_blank"> In this post</a> she shows how she folds her fabric, and also shares her criteria for scraps.<br />

I love<a href="http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm" target="_blank"> Connecting Threads</a>, and their fabric. They come out with new lines often and are very affordable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They sell their fabric collections in precuts as well. And they don't charge for it! Buying a charm pack pretty much anywhere else will cost you 30% more or even more than that! For reference, a yard is 36"xWOF (width of fabric, which is usually 42-44").</div>

Another blog I love is <a href="http://cluckclucksew.com/" target="_blank">Cluck Cluck Sew</a>. It's full of fresh colors and clean lines. She shares a post on <a href="http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2011/01/stashing.html" target="_blank">how to start a fabric stash here</a>. And I love her bottom line: <span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; text-align: -webkit-center;">the bottom line is, whether you have a big stash or a small stash..buy what you love. If you love it, you’ll use it and be more happy with what you have. </span></div>
