Holidays and Celtic Solstice 4

I am happy to report more progress on Celtic Solstice, finishing clue 4 last night. The rich greens and oranges look beautiful together. I can't wait to see the finished result! Check out the progress of other quilters who linked to Bonnie's website.

Before

After

Many of my fellow quilters have posted guesses on the final design. I figure Bonnie will have two more steps before we will really know what she designed for us.  Thankfully this step was easy enough to finish so I can FINALLY wrap presents.

Congratulations to my daughter for swimming well at last Friday's swim meet! It was a treat to be allowed to come to one of your meets and watch you swim. You had banned me because I cheered too loud for you? That's silly!  This time I kept my mouth shut and urged your father to cheer instead.  So can I come to the next one?  I will only yell a little bit. Maybe.

On a higher note, my family enjoyed a wonderful Christmas party with fellow pilots at our local airport. Santa arrived in an airplane, giving all the little kids a fun treat. Who is behind that beard?  Why, it's my favorite flight instructor!
