well, only 5 more sleeps!!! I have nearly finished my shopping, I left it a bit late this year as I didn't know what to buy! Think I have managed to sort it out and will go out tomorrow (hopefully the rain will have eased by then). It is very cold today, not summer at all, but great weather to stay inside and stitch, which is exactly what I will bed doing this afternoon.
I hope you all enjoyed the free stitchery and have had time to whip one up!!!
I have managed to quilt my scrappy swirls quilt (mocha swirls in the book "scrap basket surprises" by Kim Brackett) and sewn the binding
I did this quilt as a sew-a-long with Laila, a couple of months ago and am so pleased I finished it this year!
I also wanted to show you this quilt, which is on it's way to California to this show Road to California ,
it's called "all things Christmas" and will be with Mary Jane on her booth "the Christmas Shoppe"
It is very exciting for me to have my quilts in the US, I hope you have a chance to see them!!!
I am hoping to do another blog post before Christmas, until then, enjoy the days before, keep warm and cosy while you cook, shop, clean and stitch!
Cheers
Gail
I look forward to seeing your quilt at the Road to California show! I sure hope the patterns will be for sale then.
Wonderful quilts, both of them but I have to say the “All Things Christmas” is extra special…just beautiful. Have fun stitching…please think of me, here in our remodeling mess, LOL. Every time I think I can sit down and stitch, the table by my chair, or the chair itself has been moved, my Ott light is moved and by the time I track everything down, I’m to darned tired to worry about it, LOL. Ah, but it will be lovely, having my comfy chair upstairs, table by it’s side looking at the fireplace and listening to an audio book while I stitch. Hopefully it will all come together by the end of January. Big hugs…
It is always a thrill to finish a project, but I think finishing one before a new year starts is even better. Congrats, its looks great.
How exciting for you Im sure they will love you over there :)Hope you & yours have a lovely Xmas & a happy healthy New year
I absolutely love the “All Things Christmas” quilt!
Gail,
Thanks for the Freebie stitchery, Yes I have made one (I left out the knots) and it was the first of My Christmas decos I put up. Second was the Quilt that was BOM from last year. All looking cosy and festive here.
Love the New Christmas quilt it is very nice. Thanks for showing us and hope that it goes gangbusters in the U.S.
Merry Christmas to you and yours DebH
Your “Mocha swirls” turned out to be a gorgeous quilt! Love it!
You Christmas quilt is so lovely too! Wish I had the time to keep up with you on the sew-along, but I’ll be right behind you ;o)
Wish you some joyful days till Christmas :o)
Hugs,
Laila
If I get to go, I’ll look for it! How wonderful! You have a lot of fans up over.
Hi Gail have a lovely Christmas and congratulations on the quilt going to the US. Hope to catch up with you next year.
“all things christmas” is adorable and since I am almost finished with “love, peace & hope” I can make plans for a new project.
And, yes, we do love Gail “over here”. At last we can drool on her patterns before we purchase them.
Merry Christmas, Gail!
