I'm so sorry my post is late!! We had horrible rains the last few days and caused the wall in our window well to cave in and fill it with a mudslide yesterday evening. The muddy water came in through the window went down the wall and into the carpet such a mess. The curtains are ruined also.
Thanks so much to Madame Samm and Lesley from The Cuddle Quilter for hosting this super fun blog hop!! I have loved seeing all the ladies so far!! Everyone has worked so hard and I have been inspired with so many new ideas!!
These are my pieces all cut out!! I made the dresden plates and machine stitched them to my blocks.
I made a table runner!! It is actually going to go on my dining room table but it was easier to take the picture on my coffee table. See the finished runner below!!
I'm going to the Quilt shop tomorrow!! I am going to get a festive bundle of fat quarters for a giveaway!! Just leave a comment and your entered!!

Oh, Cherry, so sorry to hear your news...a mud slide is a really good excuse for being a little late! Actually, I can't believe you made it at all. Thanks so much for still coming through to show us such yummy little Dresden plate blocks! They are wonderful, and the table runner is beautiful. Thanks for participating and having a very generous giveaway. Take care, and good luck with the clean up...will be thinking of you!
I am so sorry to hear about the mud slide affecting your home. I sure hope it is not as bad as it sounds. Thank goodness for insurance. I hope all works out for you. Your topper is beautiful, I like the idea of the dresden plate. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Cherry don't you ever think we are as important as a mud slide, oh my goodness. You pour thing, what do you do when you see it coming through the windows?
We were more concerned about YOU.
Your dresden runner is really nice. I just got a ruler
to make one, that will be my next best thing.
Here is hoping to less muddy waters and less rain.
Sorry to see the mess - what a headache to deal with!
Your table runner is absolutely gorgeous!
Best wishes
Christine

Wow, "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night (nor mudslide) stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds" U.S. Post Office creed... and Quilter's creed, here too! Way to go, good luck with the cleanup, and thanks for posting your cute Dresden Runner!
I've been meaning to try a dresden plate pattern, but haven't gotten around to it yet. It always looks so nice all finished up and yours were made into such a lovely table runner! Sorry to hear about the mud slide, but I hope you keep taking breaks from the clean up to do some more quilting! :)
Sorry to hear about the mudslide that is awful. Your table runner looks beautiful on your table.
Hi Cherry, I can't believe that you are still in a fit state to post you Christmas goodies after having to deal with a mud slide. I hope everything is sorted out for you soon. I love Dresden Plates and your runner is lovely. Vicki vickilorraine at hotmail dot com
Sorry to hear about the mud slide, hope all s well now. Thanks for the great table runner.love the dresden plate. "It's beginning to Look a lot like Christmas/" Thanks for the giveaway.
Ugh! That sounds awful. Sorry you had to deal with such a mess. I love your Dresden plate runner. Thanks for posting for the blog hop in spite of all you are dealing with.
So sorry to hear of the mudslide , that is horrible. Your dresdans are lovely and make a beautiful runner . Thanks for the chance at your very generous giveaway.
I am sorry about your flood and the muddy mess. My father always said, "Into each life some rain must fall" and I thought of that quote often the fall we had 5 hurricanes.(we lived in Orlando) Only one was concentrated enough for water to leak in around the foundations and we just cleaned up with towels since it was in the "florida" room--tile, no carpet. I can't imagine mud, carpet, drapes. Not to mention your walls. I will think of you today.
I love this. The dresdens almost make it look as though you've got wreaths on the runner.
PS I love your witch in the previous post too.
Oh I am so sorry for the muddy mess. That just stinks. But your beautiful blocks and runner certainly don't. I just love them. I hope the shopping trip helps to cheer you us.
Sit down and take 3 long breaths. You must be exhausted and it is so upsetting seeing your home damaged. You just have to go to your LQS before this hop ends.
I love Dresdens making a superbtable runner.
Thank you for sharing and giving at this time. This show guts & spirit.
Hi, Cherry! My, sorry about your mudslide! We can't even get hardly a drop of rain here! Love your Dredsen plate tablerunner. Enter me in your giveaway!

Mother Nature does have her way! Glad you could make it to the Blog HOp - wonderfully fussy cut Dresdens for a very pretty runner. Glad you were able to share with us.
Oh, my! That is not good! The mudslide, that is. The table runner is beautiful though. Good luck!
I am so sorry about your water/mud problems. I live in a drought area and we finally got some rain yesterday - too late to save crops but we were still mighty pleased to get the rain. Life is: drought at times and flood at other times...
So sorry for your disaster! Hope all is back to normal now!
Love your dresdan plate block!
Love your pretty Dresden plate blocks! But I'm so sorry about your mud slide. Such a mess to have to clean up and then worry that it never happens again. Hope it goes well.
Sorry to hear about your mudslide. I do like your pretty tablerunner. Thanks for the inspiration to get ready for Christmas.
Cherry, OMG water is bad enough but a mud slide...hope the clean up is going well. I love your Dresden Plate runner, very festive. Thanks for sharing....happy stitching!!
Cherry-Your table runner is fantastic and I think you are amazing for posting considering your recent circumstances. You don't say where you are-I am from the SFBay Area and although we are short on rain this year, we are not in as bad shape as some other areas of the country. When I watch the news daily, I pay close attention to the weather around the county as we have family/friends all over. Thanks for your sharing.
I'm glad not too much was ruined by the mudslide. Those things can cause many $ worth of damage.
Fat quarters are my favorite giveaway. =)
What a lovely runner.
