A Very Merry Christmas!!

My husband chose and bought 2 meters of this fabric....

And used 1½  meters as packing;
then used the other ½  a meter as gift wrap
to wrap one of my gifts...
.

How can you beat that?
I Love this Man!!

007 ~ Windmills.....


I fell in love with this pattern here a while ago and had plans to make use of it the moment I saw it. The day we took pictures it was really windy so we had trouble getting a straight photo.


The bloggers world (and wealth) of information amazes me. I had made binding before and hand sewing just isn't something meant for me.....sew.... I sew my binding by machine, and Rita is fantastic with a machine sewn binding tutorial, which gave me another way of putting it together.


Matilda is always ready to help with the puzzle.


I tried something different, with stippling on the main body of the quilt, and separate stippling on the border.... not a good idea....Ready to bind; the quilting still presents a challenge for me......
but that's how we learn??
