Michelle produced this lovely Christmas quilt and pattern book. I snatched up a copy as soon as I could but good intentions have been kept at bay....
Now is the time to sew a new Christmas quilt....
Isn't it just too pretty?????
This is Michelle's book - as well as the quilt there are a number of other projects in it too.....
... and Guess What? Raewyn and I are going to host a Stitch-A-Long and we would love you to join us.
Chookyblue has kindly offered the use of the Stitch-A-Long blog so we can post our progress and keep encouraging one another to keep going.... Thanks Chooky -
Wanting to start in May - depending if people need a bit more time to gather supplies ....
Please let me know if you'd like to join.....
Holly Cottage Christmas can be purchased directly from Michelle.... details are in the sidebar of her blog....
Although Michelle did her quilt using Needleturn Applique, it lends itself well for blanket stitch (hand or machine) and there is some stitchery too as well as the piecing of the blocks, which are not complicated at all.....
I have a fat 1/8th pack of Anni Downs fabrics - and bought a bit of extra's for borders and background.... this is what I'll be using....
Taking names now... more details later .....
any questions?
any questions?
Righto, Gotto Go... planning to do!!!
