A New Ornament

I found this freebie ornament on Solo Brode a couple of weeks ago and decided to make it. I'm using Bush Christmas from Dinky Dyes and a leftover piece of linen. I think it's coming out cute so far.

Stuck on T

While I was on holiday, I managed to get to T on this. I haven't worked on it since, though it's in my modified Christmas blitz rotation. Truly, I should just take a day and finish it. Only six more letters, after all.

Crackers Made

I finished these up this morning, and since my husband took a picture of them, they're all sealed into their envelopes and ready to go places. Each one has threads and trims and buttons and beads inside. I hope the recipients like them.

Pretty Mail Day

Yesterday, I got this beautiful Christmas cracker in the mail. It's the same exchange that yesterday's blocks were made for. I wonder what's inside.

Three Exchange Pieces

One of my quilting groups is having a Christmas cracker exchange. We make crazy quilt blocks to embellish and then roll them up into crackers stuffed with stitch goodies. These are the blocks I made for the exchange - all of it done this week.

Joyeux Noel Done

I got something done! It feels good to have something completed after such a long drought. Now this goes off to my husband to frame or whatever for one of his colleagues. I like the way it turned out, and it counts toward my project challenge, since it was stitched totally from stash.

Rhodes Around the Corner

With all that's gone on this past month, I feel like I've made so little progress with everything. That's why I decided to go ahead and finish Joyeux Noel. It'll make me feel better to get something -done-. The bottom left corner has all its Rhodes in place on this neglected mandala, and the bottom right is started. At least it's something new.
