All Dressed Up

It's that time of year - again - it's creeping up on us.  We try to fit in as much as possible with as many as possible and this place is a must for us.  

Our annual trip to the Broadway Bar, all dressed up in its Christmas finery!  Quite amazingly we were the only ones there yesterday with the exception of four at the bar.  Never, ever has this place been empty.  But it was during the week and just past lunch and evenings are the most busy. We know to go in between.  This place has in the past decorated for Christmas from November till after the holidays but last year the owners decided to leave Christmas up all year so technically, you could be here in July and just post your photos in December!  But we didn't and don't do that.  

We come with Friends Richard and Marilyn when you are supposed to feel the Christmas cheer. It's tradition.
 

My quest for a quilt pattern that wouldn't hide the bird fabric ended with the snowball pattern.  I never thought I liked it but it was really perfect for the amount of fabric I had, it's center is big enough to show the fabric, it let me use other fun combinations to coordinate and I could use them every other.  Also it's so easy and quick I'm really plugging along.  If I didn't take a nap I'd have finished it by now!
