I have a confession...
I tend to go overboard on things. Way overboard. I know we have talked about how much I like to decorate tier trays, and I do, but I think I have to admit that I have a problem and find a twelve step program or support group. I have stuff for 14 different themes, multiple ones for Christmas and Halloween, Disney ones, and weirder ones like Flamingos and PB&J. So I have a lot of stuff.
Then there is Christmas. I may have mentioned that in the past I didn't do much decorating for the holiday, but had made a promise to my son that when I had grandchildren, I would. Now that Wren is here, I have been getting myself sorted on decorating. Again, I have themes for the different rooms in the house, Christmas dogs in the bathroom, Merry and Bright for Wren's room, Gingerbread for the family room and so on. And again, I have a lot of stuff. I've been organizing it so that I can store it in the garage while the kids are here as they sell their house again, and I was honestly surprised by how much stuff I have. Honestly I was. My sister laughed and said she was not surprised because I always go overboard. She is not wrong. I have so many ideas rolling around in this head of mine and no ability to control my need to follow through on all of them. Once I get an idea, off I go. And go. And go. I know I should find the program or group, but instead I am looking for more stuff to add to the different themes I have going. Does anyone know when I can get a Christmas dinosaur quilt?

LOL! I don't decorate, but i can 100% relate to the idea of going to excess for anything I'm into. Once I go down into the rabbit hole of a hobby or collection, I want it ALL.

I don't decorate, except for Christmas. Our apartment is too small for me to store all those decorations and hubby dislikes them.
I am interested in the Christmas dinosaur quilt, though. My daughter is craaazy about dinosaurs.

 I think they are a bit on the expensive side, but I have found if things are of good quality and will be loved, then it is worth it. Also, I look for sales and coupons. I have had my eye on the Disney Christmas quilt set forever and now that it is on clearance, I am seriously tempted to buy it. But that would be going overboard again and totally unnecessary since I have already started the dinosaur theme for his room.

I am truly down the rabbit hole now. It is nuts, but I have so much fun with it. LOL Wren's room at my house, for when he stays over when he is a little bigger, is dinosaurs, so I want to change it up for the holiday to Christmas Dinosaurs. It is going to be so fun, if I can find it. I wish I could make it, but my arthritis is too bad for me to even want to quilt any more. Besides, he has inherited about 12 quilts that I made his dad when he was little, all in great shape and ready for another go round. But no dinosaurs christmas.

I "feel" ya. When I'm interested in something, I tend to want it all. The whole thing. The complete set. All the extras. lol
Have you seen this:  When I googled Dinosaur Blanket, a number of things came up from TEMU. But, I've seen people say to stay away from TEMU. Security risks or something. So, I'm scared of them. lol

Thanks, Char. The only problem is that none of them are quilts. I don't like the bulk of a comforter, so I have to have quilts. Picky, I know. LOL Especially since quilts are harder to find.

It's been forever since I chimed in here. I know you said your arthritis wouldn't let you do a lot of quilting, but I do know of this pattern: I haven't made this one specifically pattern, but would be super cute in Christmas theme.

I always planned to and have built up quite the stash of materials in anticipation, but reality has hit pretty hard. I might be able to machine piece, but definitely not do any hand quilting or piecing. I also think machine quilting would be hard because of the weight you have to maneuver. Are you a quilter? Do you make quilts to sell to others or make them by commission? Also, I am looking for a quilter to give my stash to, if that is something that might interest you.

Awe, so sorry about your arthritis and not being able to quilt. Those Christmas dino quilts are adorable!
I just took over my oldest daughters room as my sewing/quilting room.
