Stitching A Long for Christmas ......

This months Stitch-A-Long is a very cute Christmas hanging

Thanks to Chookyblue for choosing lots of different and lovely projects to do this year...

I found a little rusty hanger for it and added little rusty bells onto the ends of the prairie points....


... it's only 8 months till Christmas..... 

I'm linking up with Narelles' 1 Christmas Item - I'm sure there will be a few other things I see there that will go on my list....

I have also made my 9 patch blocks for this months swap....


.. and here are the 3 sets I have done so far....


Thanks Trish.... 9 patches in Reproduction prints.. what's not to love about that???

Righto, Gotto Go..... this pumpkin plant just volunteered to grown in my garden... it needs a bit of water...

    Such a cute Christmas stitchery and hanger, but my favorites are the repo nine patches. Interesting pumpkin, mine have done the same, thrown themselves over the edge of the bed and just hanging there...I keep thinking they are going to fall!
