I can now share the gift that I made for Cheryl in our SSCS exchange, sent halfway round the world to California. The design is called Countdown to Christmas, by Anni Downs and was featured in Australian Homespun Vol 13 No 7. I made a small alteration to the little sign, changing it from 'Countdown to Christmas' to 'Merry Christmas'. I was pretty pleased with how the wall hanging finished up, and will definitely use a 'rusty' hanger again, I loved the look it gave.
Today I have put the final stitches into my Gardeners Journal quilt, and I don't know if I can put into words how happy I am that it is finally done! I will put a post together for the SAL blog soon, and will share here too. I have lots of emails to reply to and blogs to catch up on too, so that will fill in the rest of my Friday evening......
Till next time .............. happy stitching........... Nicky
