COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

I know, it's still months away but it will be here before we know it.  The other day I pulled out these blocks and got to work. I'm piecing this for a friend and I'm sure she would like to get it to the long armer one of these days.......

I started by sewing the little pinwheels onto the corners of the 20 blocks I had already made

then I pieced a few more blocks and soon I had 30 !

I'm hoping for 42 blocks but we will see how far the fabric goes

Then I pieced some more Bee blocks.  'Whirled' blocks for the Heal group of do.good stitches

and I cut out a little dress for Miss J. This is sort of a practice piece to check for size. I tried to take some measurements the other day as she was running by, but apparently she didn't have time........

Have a lovely week

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS and A SPECIAL DELIVERY

So it's November already, and with a new month comes a clean slate and new starts. A couple of years ago,  I made a quilt called Countdown to Christmas.

I have started another one and am planning to make it a bit bigger. The trees are three dimensional and use a lot of fabric. I think I can use the waste fabric to make the little pinwheels freeing up some fabric for more trees. That's the plan anyway  : )

we've had our first snowfall

You may remember a few months back I sent a quilt off to Nicke that I had pieced for Hospice. Well, she delivered the quilt and sent me a picture to share with you.

I'm honoured to be part of the Heal group of do.good stitches. I hope this brings him much warmth and comfort.

Enjoy your day
