I love quilts, especially antique quilts, either applique or pieced,
and I want to share my journeys in quilting !

But, my "Threads and Treasures" sometimes include embroidery, painting, or spinning wool
and weaving
.

It is great that you are visiting, and I hope you feel at home here.
I would love it if you left a comment.

Surprise Carolplayers on Boxing Day

What a surprise! I was sitting quite happily working on my Baltimore Birdies, when the doorbell rang, and there they were with their instruments. A group who go round all the farms in the area, collecting for charity. I could choose a favourite carol, and it was lovely to have our own private concert!

If you want to see them playing and share in the experience, you can watch the video below. I asked if they minded if I filmed them, and they didn't. They played and sang "O, Holy Night."


It has brought a lovely warm feeling to this day!
Now back to my applique, even happier than before!
Take care,
Jane

Thank's for this video.
They played this Christmas Carol wonderful. I often played it Holy Night on the organ at our church. I love it. But this year I have played "Joy to the world"

I wish you a wonderful New Year.
groetjes (in German Grüße)

Wat een prachtig lied is dat toch, en ze hebben het heel mooi gespeeld.
Ik hoop dat ze veel geld voor het goede doel op hebben gehaald, wat leuk, al die meiden bij elkaar.
En die foto van dat roodborstje, prachtig!
Groetjes, Cisca

Lovely to have carol singers call, We go out in the neighbourhood every year but we do not collect and often hard to convince people that. We offer sweets to children in stead our intention being to bless.
Did a small post on it this year.
