Welcome to Week 5 of MAKING CHRISTMAS
Thank you all for linking up and leaving comments last week!
This week I have something to cross off my list of things I want to make in time for Christmas - I'm sure everyone will know what it is!
I wanted to get a
photo in daylight but, as you can see from this snap of the garden, today we are not having any daylight.
I'm also linking this up at Quilt Story for Fabric Tuesday - it's not often I have a finish and I always find Quilt Story a great place for inspiration! Why not pop over to visit and check out the other projects that have been finished lately.
I have put an X against draft excluders because we are thinking of moving so I don't want to spend and time and fabric on something that may not fit well in another house. I have also added Blue and Cream Quilt. You may remember one of my sons wanted a quilt so to celebrate finishing lots of small fiddly piecing, I decided to start something simple with big pieces! Although it's on the list, if it's not finished by Christmas, that won't be a disaster.
So now my list of things I want to make in time for
Christmas is looking like
this:
~~~~~~~~~~~
PRESENTS:
2 x Sewing/Mending
Kits
3 x Wall
Hangings
Finish Bear (a UFO
knitted from our own sheep wool)
HOUSEHOLD:
Floor Cushions (for TV
room when lots of people come)
Draft Excluders (for when
heat wave ends) X
SWAPS:
1 or 2 x Christmas
Ornament for secret partner in Susan's Modern
Christmas Tablerunner Swap ?
Blue and Cream Quilt
~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't wait to see what you have all been doing so please link up and remember you can link
anything at all you want to get done in time for Christmas. It doesn't need to be festive, although, of course it can be.
Happy Sewing
:)
Ok... so I'll just email you my address so you can post that through. Seriously, one of my favourites things of the year. Totally adorable. :)

ReplyDeleteThe runner is beautiful! I love the trees and the little house. If I were you, I wouldn't want to give it away!
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog and the lovely comments.
Oh gosh, you are putting me to shame. I don't think I'll have this quilt finished by Christmas, but the plan is to take it with me to Sweden (visiting other half's folks) at Chrstmas - so hopefully I will get a good bit done in the Christmas hols when sitting around chatting to family! It will also keep my fingers out of the snackbowls!!
ReplyDeleteLove your table runner - I need to pop on over to the flickr group to catch up, havn't seen anything for a couple of days!
ReplyDeleteThe table runner is just wonderful.
