After a busy and stressful week, it was nice to look forward to a quiet weekend, starting with Friday Night with Friends.
I have moved onto block four of The Santa, The Tree, The Turkey and Me.
I joined the first three blocks the other day and was quite excited by how they look (sorry about the poor colours in the photo) —
On Friday night I completed the small 'block' that is appliqued onto the main piece of block 4 —
I've done some other sewing this weekend, which I'll share another time, but this afternoon I made another one of my scrappy Christmas ornament blocks.
I have worked out that I need another 12 blocks so I'm hoping that by the end of the month they'll be made and maybe even joined. We'll see. You can visit the One Monthly Goal line-up at Patty's Elm Street Quilts blog.
'til next time,
happy stitches,
Two very fun Christmas projects! Are you shooting to have both of these projects completed for December this year? I always tell myself I am going to get one of the Christmas flimsies in the closet quilted up before the next Christmas. It just never happens, though.
ReplyDeleteGreat progress with the applique blocks and you have a nice pile of Christmas blocks there.
ReplyDeletegood luck getting them sewn into a flimsy this month....
Those Santa blocks are gorgeous and you managed quite a bit for FNWF. Good luck with those bauble blocks. xx
ReplyDeleteLove the Anni quilt - but those decorations - so clever!!!
ReplyDeleteyou have a lot of projects going on right and it looks like you are making progress on all of them
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!😀
ReplyDeleteWow, both of your projects are coming along so beautifully. I just love that last picture of your ornament blocks all lined up. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJust looking at your blocks cheered me up. It really is a cute project. I love the little ornaments with the reindeer.
ReplyDeleteRaewyn, those bits in those Christmas blocks are so tiny. You have so much patience. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Omigosh reminder once again.
I hope this week is less busy and stressful for you Raewyn. Your Santa blocks are looking great and the decoration blocks are super cute, I am sure you can meet your goal. It will be wonderful to see them all joined together.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet projects. You are so good to be doing Christmas quilts in March. I always say I will and then...
ReplyDeleteBoth the Christmas quilts are coming along so well..... great idea to print the Steama seam...

Raewyn, I love your first project - such a cute name (always important) and such a cute design (even more important).
ReplyDeleteLove the Anni quilt great time saver printing on the steam a seam.
ReplyDeleteLooks like some great progress made
ReplyDeleteOMgoodness! Those ornaments are adorable. And oh my, the appliqué, swoon!!!
ReplyDeleteRaewyn - I have said this before, but I just love "The Santa, etc." project. It is so adorable. Little mice, a sweet goose, I could go on and on with little squeals of delight!
ReplyDeleteI never thought about copying (rather than tracing) patterns on the Steam a Seam. Great time saver idea. Your Santa project is adorable!
ReplyDeleteA very xmassy weekend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip about printing the applique pieces rather than tracing.
Wow, that’s a lot of Xmas blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove the progress on your Santa etc quilt. Such a delight.
ReplyDeleteAnd all those Christmas blocks are great. Love the fussy cutting.
Very busy again. Did you put the steam a seam through the photcopy process on your printer.
ReplyDeleteAnni’ pattern is coming along very nicely. I’m sure you achieved your goal of 12 ornament blocks.
ReplyDeleteRaewyn - you know I like The Santa, The Tree, The Turkey and Me - so I always enjoy seeing updates on your progress! Lovely. Enjoy your weekend and whatever stitching it may bring!
ReplyDeleteLove those appliqué blocks!
