Getting distracted...

In spite of a myriad of pressing projects, I just couldn't help myself last night and put this wee fellow together—








It all started yesterday when YD decided she needed to make a Teddy Bear.
 
As I gathered materials for her (realising that all of our Teddy Bear making materials are down in Auckland with her sister) I decided she needed her own pin-cushion.
[If the truth be known I've been waiting for an excuse to make this pattern!]
[Sorry, ED, I guess you'll be needing one now!]

Last week I managed to complete my '12 Days of Christmas', the on-line mystery hosted by Temecula Quilt Co. in January.
Quilted and bound
Finished size - 14" x 18"
Quite like the 2 coloured outer border, gives it a point of difference.
  I quilted it with a clamshell pattern - even though I used a stencil I wasn't always even but good practise nonetheless!

So now it's back to my pressing projects - I'm planning a lock-in in my sewing cave today to try and make some  more progress.
Have a great day every-one and happy stitching,
