This year I am joining in with Narelle's "1 Christmas Item a Month" as I felt last year I wasn't very organised and didn't do the Christmas sewing I wanted. (anyone can join anytime....its a great way for motivation and ideas)
I have quite a few Christmas UFO's so I'm starting off finishing them...
I quilted this runner with straight lines and matched the binding with the border.... There is a bit of wiggly quilting in the stitched area...
I love this cheerful runner..... I did the stitchery a few years ago....
.. perfect for on the table at Christmas time.....
I have been stitching up some snowmen when I wanted a short break from my Dutch Treat blocks.... I have always just loved backstitch work...
... and I was thrilled to find exactly the fabric I wanted to finish this one off... which will be next months Christmas project (and also a UFO)
Righto, Gotto Go... I just can't believe it's the end of February already... that means end of 'official' summer here - and I hope brings on some more reasonable temperatures and cooler evenings... and RAIN...

I know, who can believe how fast the year is going already? Oooh, lovely stitching and finishing and yes, that fabric is perfect for the snowmen.
This is a very inspirational post to help us other quilters to keep busy finishing up our UFOs. Your stitcheries are so cute!
Love your table runner. The red border makes your lovely redwork pop. Love the fabric picked for the snowmen. It's awesome with the snowmen. ;^)
Oh I totally forgot about Narelle's challenge - I have participated in it for many years... I should join up again. Your finishes are just gorgeous! xx

That is a cute runner! It has finally started cooling down here......and is sprinkling rain as we speak.
Lovely finish with the runner. The straight line quilting works really well.
I look forward to seeing the snowmen next month!
Nice to see the longgggggg Christmas table runner finished and how cute are the fat snowmen....
Oh some cooler weather would be nice but I'd miss my morning swims.....
