Oh Christmas Tree


I am waiting for everyone to get ready we are heading out for a Christmas Party with my husbands family combined with my MIL's 80th. I thought that I would show you what I have started. It was traced a couple of weeks ago at Hetties and it took me all Friday afternoon to cut it out, I did this to keep busy while I waited for my key's to be returned (taxi driver kindly dropped them off late in the afternoon which was a big relief). Yesterday I glued the batting and top together and started stitching. I am not aiming having it finished this Christmas next Christmas will do. I have to do some shopping first as I want to stick crystals on it as well. I have made a good start and it won't be long. I'll just leave it on the machine and go and stitch some more when I feel like it.

Just the thing to have sitting there for when you have a spare minute or two to do some stitching.....love the green! Glad you got your keys back......!!

Wow Amanda it looks fantastic! Are you using linen like Kellie did? I am holidays in three days time (count them, only three days! woo hoo) and am aiming to start the quilt along. It will take me ages I'm sure but I can't resist!

It's looking good looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
