Spending time outdoors.


In the years gone by, no matter where we are, spending time outdoors is a must. So on the seventeenth day of December the advent calendar said: Plan outdoors activities.   We are eagerly awaiting some snow, not just to build a snowman but also to toboggan at the nearby hill. It is just missing snow, he soft fluffy kind. Then we will dress warmly and go and play in the snow!
 Diane is busy stitching the Holiday Quaker. 
These patchwork balls just needed ribbon to finish them. Got some this morning,  so they can be finished. Gold ribbon will work for all three with the metallic  fabric accents.
The next section will be quilted today.
The thread drawers have been unpacked, lists have been made of the colours which needs replacing,  this 40 weight Rayon thread by Marathon is my absolute favourite.  It is strong and versatile,  it is amazing for both machine quilting and embroidery.  It stays soft and never lose its colour or shine. Did not realize just how much of this I have used in the past couple of years.
