Last night I attended the Parwich ladies sewing club, a group of us meet for a natter and a sew every other Monday during the winter months and at the moment we are making Christmassy things. It was so lovely to get out as I have been stuck in the house for the last three weeks recuperating from a nasty operation, yesterday was my first day out of the house and of course I over did it somewhat. It was such a lovely evening though and a real laugh, I took all my felt decorations to show them and a couple of the ladies are now making them too. I had started this wool felt Christmas Angel a couple of days ago and took it to finish it off. I now have to make another as both dds want one, plus need to sort out the wings! Still, it was fun to make so I shall start another tonight while dh is out at band practice and won't be able to complain about my sewing lamp reflecting in the tv!

Christmas Angel
Dinner is in the oven, yummy lasagne so thought I would just post this quickly. Unfortunately lasagne just isn't good enough as my youngest is singing/sobbing I want pancakes for dinner, this has been going on for 15 minutes now, and I am trying to put my deaf ears on!

Christmas Decorations - part two
These are some more decorations I have made this year, I will be doing some more stockings to go with this one.
Christmas trees
My six year old daughter made this all on her own, all I did was thread the needle.
I am so proud!!!!
Christmas Decorations - part one
These are taken from a design by Indygo Junction, some will go on our tree and some will be pressies for friends and family.
Christmas presents - brooches
These are taken from an idea in November's Patchwork and Quilting magazine, with my own designs. I have made them as Christmas presents for friends.
Crewel and Unusual
At the Aug 2008 Festival of Quilts I bought a kit from Fay Maxwell called Crewel and Unusual.
I finally got round to making it June 2009.
The design is my own, taken from the headboard in our bedroom, but using the techniques shown in Fay's book. It uses wool felt heavily embroidered and appliquéd to a silk background which is then hand quilted using Kantha technique.
