Today was our break up at Foothills Fabric & Threads. We had a lovely lunch and nibbles and also did a Christmas swap. Glenda received my present
which is the centre block from my new pattern "Good Tidings", I just added a couple of borders and some prairie points. I also made one for Liam’s teacher….I hope she likes it!!
I was lucky to receive Dianne’s present:
and I think that we all enjoyed a lovely day ( I didn’t do any sewing!!) it was a nice time for a chat before things get too hectic!
Helen also finished her version of my pattern "believe in the magic", it is stunning!
So I hope that you are all enjoying any break ups that you are going to, enjoy any sewing that you are doing and relax over the Christmas break. Here in Aus, our kids are off school until the end of Jan, my 2 older boys have finished but Liam has still got another week to go. (maybe i can finish my shopping!) I still also have another birthday next week, my neice turns 13 on Tuesday so we will be going over for a birthday dinner.
Eat and be merry!!! until next time

Oh Gail – your Christmas wallhanging is beautiful – I am now TOTALLY addicted to stitchery and have made nearly all of my Christmas gifts – just a couple more to make – goodness, all that time off school – my girls have already got their Christmas hols mapped out – I’ll be chief taxi driver as usual, so not much time for sewing – thankgoodness my daughters are only off for 18 days!!!!
oH gAIL YOUR WALL HANGING IS BEAUTIFUL – i AM NOW totally ADDICTED TO STITCHERY (HAVE NEARLY FINISHED ALL MY cHRISTMAS GIFTS
You all have the most interesting school breaks. I wonder if it is more like year round school with your breaks spread out? In the states, we kill ourselves for our little 2 week break at Christmas and one week in the spring and then get totally bored with the long summer break.
Love your quilts with the stitchery and your gift is beautiful.
