"It's Time for Christmas"


"Its Time for Christmas" is finished........just in time for taking its place in the Christmas decorations.

This is a Bronwyn Hayes BOM pattern from the  Homespun magazine, 4 of us from our Tuesday group have been doing it together so I'm sure the other girls will have photos to show soon too...... its such a bright festive quilt and I love it. 


A couple of close up photos.



I'm a little bit sad really as Homespun was one of my favourite mags but the new changes to Homespun magazine are aimed at a younger market and I can't find any projects that suit my taste but I still have more issues from my subscription to go ...... its not all bad though as now I won't be tempted with new projects and will hopefully get on with things I already have.

Now to a swap gift, I received this lovely parcel from Melissa in Cheryll's Flower mini quilt swap, I did show a picture of the one I sent in an earlier post...... very nice paper with a matching card.



Thanks Melissa for this mini quilt..... I don't know if you have a blog or not so I can't link it there.... sorry.

Your quilt is lovely Helen. You've done a wonderful job. Lovely mini from Melissa too. I'm with you about Homespun. I think I only have 2 more issues to go on my subscription and I won't be renewing it. It's not the same magazine it used to be! Sad really. It was my favourite magazine.

The quilt is gorgeous! And I am with you also about Homespun!! It is so disappointing, I loved that mag! I don't like the layout at all! Have a great weekend, Michelle.

Gorgeous quilt Helen! I reckon Homespun took us readers for granted, we were loyal, loved the projects and the glossy pages and I reckon our age group must've been the greater percentage of readers ( i'd love to see the sales figures!) It certainly made it an easy decision to end my addiction to the mag!

I don't like new Homespun either :)
