Christmas is all over once again ...... and I look forward to some gentle days watching the Boxing Day test match and eating left overs! (oh and Hot Cross Buns have hit the shelves - my favourite part of end of Christmas)
We had a lovely day, relaxing and filled with love and laughter. Thanks to technology chatting to family in other parts of the world.
This year I did a dozen Sashiko decorations to send out......
This is the Garment Bag I made for local daughter. Over the shoulder handle and a big zipper pocket on the outside
I joked that this was made with love for about 20 minutes, from then on it was made with scowls and swearing.... It is so much easier making a quilt!!
To be fair the pattern was great and going step by step. It is the Garment Bag from Caroline at Sew Can She.
Zipper all the way down the front and ties to hold the coat hangers in and small handles to hang or carry
I initially started this as she had a job requiring a fair bit of travel, curve ball has arrived and suddenly she is very ill but it will wait till she can make use of it.
I have finished quilting Sylvia's Bridal Sampler. The binding is added but still hand sewing it down to be done....
Yesterday I did the last 4 flowers for my 2025 Blackwork SAL. Each flower is different and this was a test of endurance!!! haha
I've ordered a 35cm hoop which is what I will use to finish it off.....
Righto, Gotto Go, Christmas Day was at our house, and there is still some tidying and sorting to do.... there is always so much paper and boxes to get rid of.
Have a lovely time betwix one year and the next.... We'll catch up in 2026.
