I have finally caught up on the early Christmas chores of the season. The decorations are up, the cards are sent, the teacher's gifts are bought and wrapped and I can finally breathe a little sigh of relief...at least for a day or two. :o)
My daughter, who is as passionate about knitting as I am about quilting, made me this lovely English Christmas Pudding for the tree. I was absolutely thrilled with it and will hang it on the tree for years to come with pride!
I, too, had a go at making some decorations. These little birds are made from the Patchwork Pottery pattern designed by Laurraine. If you fancy a go yourself, you can find the pattern on
her ETSY shop and read her blog
HERE. Her work is just beautiful!
Lastly, I thought I would reveal the answer to the riddle in my
last post. This is what was under the presser foot and is now under my Christmas tree! I have been meaning to make a tree skirt for a number of years and this year I decided it was high time I got it done...of course starting on a tree skirt in November does provide a challenge or two and I very nearly didn't have it done in time. Well, I say in time, in time according to my children!!
Until next time...
