Tis the Season

I pieced my Tis the Season quilt together on Sunday and I just love it.  I used Lynette Anderson's latest Christmas fabric range, Christmas Fun.  The border print is pretty fun I think.  I am going to get it professionally quilted so it will hopefully be finished before Christmas.  Other things making me happy at the moment are my new door knobs on my new wardrobe doors (a little bit of progress in our bedroom!) and seeing the beautiful spring flowers blooming in our garden.  I sewed the little sleeves on my dress last night and it was very close to being finished but the front gapes on me.  I unpicked the facing while visiting Dad this morning and I will try adding some tucks or darts to make it fit better - perhaps tonight!  Wendy xx

  11. The quilt is lovely,and so are the knobs for the wardrobe .
    I always find it funny that you are going into warmer weather,and we are freezing.
    My lovely son in law has nasty habit of sending me pictures of the glorious sunshine they are having,while we are all shivering .
