Block A Day in December

I'm setting myself a new challenge. Don't ask me why but it seems like a fun thing to try.

A block a day in December.

Sewn and blogged.

Every day.

Given this year's sewing history, it will be a challenge but I like to do these things sometimes.

Today's block —

I'm hoping you can tell that it's a Christmas Gnome block! The free pattern is at sewcanshe, scaled down to 6". {Cutting instructions for that size are found at thecraftyquilter.}

It's just a block I saw once that I wanted to make. And now I have.

It was fun to go through my box of Christmas fabrics, I haven't rummaged through that yet this year!

In other news. Last week (before the onslaught of children) I got the top of my Lorax quilt together. Here's a quick photo of it. I've just realised The Lorax needs some eyes, and not just pins; hopefully I'll get onto that tomorrow.

 Okay, short and sweet.

'til next time (tomorrow hopefully if I can keep this up!),

happy stitches,
