This is a piccie of block 1 & 2 of the Christmas Belles quilt that I'm doing with 3 mad (as in fun mad) crafty friends, as you can see I stuffed up when I cut out the centre stitchery of block 1 so I will have to think of something clever to add so its centred properly, I'm a dopey Dora, never mind all will be well in the end. I have decided not to buy any fabric for this project as I want to use my stash fabric only so hope it works out okay.
This is a Rustic Country Wares pattern by Julie Wilson in a rusty frame, it was different to make with the cushion, plates and sign being a bit fiddly but I love the finished picture.
Well I have made a great start on my " To do list" for this year but I must admit that I started this quilt a long time ago and did have it layered and pinned ready for quilting but at least it is finished so the first job is done, here is a piccie.
