Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a peaceful time, filled with joyful laughter and happiness. Spending time with loved ones and friends, creating new memories. It is what we have in our hearts and what we send out into the world that is our most important message we have to give, we choose to give love and peace.

A few from a friend.

Diane decided to grow her Bargello wallhanging quilt into a large quilt, we worked out how much fabric she needed and this is the end result. It was longarm quilted by Sharron Leonard.
She has started another stitching project too.
A display at our local library.

A finish before Christmas.

The blue smock dress is finished and is on its way to a little girl for Christmas. Her Grandma and her both loves blue, their favourite colour.
The back and front of the dress. Recently this little girl became a big sister to a little sister.
The Soedidee advent stitch-a-long continue, have kept up for the most part. Missed stitching on three days.
The weather was beautiful on friday and we went for a walk in nature, the beavers are busy.
They have chopped all the trees, except for this one. We have noticed the water level where the weir is, has not dropped in a couple of months. They have built another dam down stream from the weir.

Where did the year go?

Hard to believe it is already December. The year has flown by, it has been and continue to be busy.
The smocking was completed and then the embroidery as well.
It is now done, ready to block and then to assemble the dress.
Smocking is not just for girls, boys too.
The pattern in the magazine was done in pink, this one if for a little girl who adore and love blue!
What else have been worked on? In the summer Soedidee announced a Christmas stitch-a-long. For each day starting December 1st a piece would be released to stitch until the 24th of December. This is the progress so far.
Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt from 2021 is being handquilted at the moment.
All of the flying border and set in triangles next to this border has been quilted. Have now moved onto quilting the large blocks on point.
