Good Morning Quilters!
We drove back to Virginia to visit friends there, specifically for a memorial gravesite service for a dear friend of ours, who passed away very suddenly. We are mourning her loss, and we were very glad we went to visit her husband and family. She was a Proverbs 31 woman, a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother.
While we were back in VA, we visited our “extra” son, and his family. Ben lived with us when he was a young man, and he feels like a son to us. He and his wife have three beautiful little girls. As I knew we would be meeting them for dinner one night, I took yarn with me and crocheted three Santa hats while riding in the car. Here is a picture taken with them in progress on the dashboard during a rest-stop break.
And a picture of the finished hats, completed the night before I gave them to the little girls.
Post edit: Some have asked me about the pattern: It is a free internet pattern that I found here:

And here are the three cute little girls wearing their Santa hats:We were sitting in a restaurant and I thought about taking a picture of all three together in their hats, but that was pretty impossible. They are 5, 3, and 1, and kept their parents (and us) very busy all during the meal. Soooo cute!
While on the trip back home, I visited all of your blogs, and as usual, you all impressed me again! So much talent and so many beautiful quilts being made. Thank you for sharing with us. Please link up below and let’s see this week’s pictures and posts.
You whipped those Santa hats very quickly! I'm sure the girls loved them and their parents appreciated the gesture. I know you'll miss your friend, I pray that you will remember all the wonderful memories you shared and made together.
