More from Tis the Season

Well I have officially finished 7 blocks for this…
  1. Peace on Earth
  2. Bon Noel Birdies
  3. Christmas Reindeer
  4. Christmas Angels
  5. Chilly Penguins
  6. Here comes Santa
  7. Partridge in a Pear Tree


I have made sewn 3 blocks together – Peace on Earth, Here Comes Santa, Bon Noel Birdies and then 3 more blocks together Chilly Penguins, Christmas Angels, Christmas Reindeer.  Once I had my rows together I then put the 2 rows into one.   I am so pleased with the progress that I am making I am sure to catch up soon… Maybe not the quilting or binding as I send that out and I don’t have a lady at this time but I am sure that I will find one soon.


Now that I have 2 rows together I can kind of see what my border and binding is going to look like with the blocks.  What do you think?  Does this look ok?


Well I just need to run to the store to get more DMC Floss as I am out of the green and will be soon on the red so it is time to get this so that I can get the stitchery done.

Till Next Time,
Shauna
