Having been given a jelly roll and a quilting book for Christmas 2010, there is no excuse not to get on with quiltmaking.

Here's what happened next...

Christmas Quiltalong - Nov pt1

Are we all in a Christmassy mood?  I do hope so, because today is the penultimate Christmas Quiltalong with our host QuiltSue at the helm.  Get yourself something festive to work on for the day, sign up to Mr Linky and start humming those Christmas tunes.

The wrapping paper and cards are all in the shops now and the Christmas adverts are on the TV (despite it not even being remembrance Sunday yet), so it's easy to get into the Christmas spirit.

It's lunchtime here in the UK and I've had a busy morning sewing (hang the housework) and have finished putting together the Festive Mystery Quilt which Sue has kindly devised for us. It looks lovely, and all I have to do is find some suitable backing fabric and I can get sandwiching and decide on how to quilt it.

Brilliant!

Oh.

I bet you've spotted already that I've made a bit of a boob on the border.

Out with Percy Unpicker.  Oh well, the day wouldn't be complete without seeing him at some point, I suppose!

  2. Backing is holding up my mystery quilt but I have lots to do today. I am way behind in making gifts for my Santa Swap partner.

    Your quilt looks lovely.

  4. Hazel, it's good to hear from you again. I didn't spot the "boob" until you mentioned it, but I think every quilt I have made was unpicked at some point. Looks good to me.

    1. Thank you, Joanna - back in the swing of things now. I think that it's only when you stand back (or someone looks over your shoulder) that you spot these things!

    1. If I had to have one to fix, that was about the easiest place for it to be!

  7. I adore your quilt! Love the colors, and one little boo boo would be a record for me! My seam rippers get dull from so much use! Enjoy the rest of the day!
