Ok, so I'm a few days late but I do have a work in progress, I have created my first pattern, I will get that ready to post very soon.
I did get around to taking pictures of my Christmas tree skirt, it was a huge amount of work and yes I may have picked the best seam to photograph but I was so pleased with how it came out
I love the a Riley Blake chevrons on the back, I was secretly a bit smug a so to how well the join went
The lime green binding I think really sets it off. Unfortunately the pictures are a bit dark gregs dslr is in for some maintenance so no good photos around here for a few weeks, his standard lens needs a new sensor. I took some close ups of the quilting
I tried to keep it simple with the quilting it's the first time I have quilted a big project and I was pleased with my own design, the project came from modern Christmas, a fantastic book. I cannot link it up on my iPad but will edit on my PC later so you can make one for next Christmas. The clean lines detracted from some of my very bad point piecing, by the end practice really meant nearly perfect.
In other news my little grown up has her first wobbly tooth! I feel a tooth fairy cushion coming on? Apparently tooth fairies in our area are generous.......maddi's friends have been get $7/£5 per tooth....seems to be a good business!
One last project for today was a quick little peg bag as I am fed up with treading on them or finding them in odd places! I found this somewhere online, it didn't come with a pattern or instructions but I think it's cute and it's very popular wit the household judges!
I got the adorable peg fabric when I was in Interocurse PA last summer and have been looking for the perfect project. I'd like to cover the hanger too, but another thing for another day!
Thanks for stopping by
Alex
