Today was one of those busy Saturdays-taxi service to birthday parties and shopping/cleaning/baking....... now I'm home and almost ready to start-just a certain little 3 year old to get to bed and no doubt a few other jobs dropped in for good measure, but to all intents and purposes I'm ready to think Christmas:)
Today's weather really suits this quilt-a-long session-we have had more snow and it is very cold, so it won't be too difficult to get into the spirit.
I knew I had a busy day ahead today, so I prepped my block last night....
I know-I have skipped a block.....I couldn't wait to get to this block so I'm afraid Mr Santa won and I am so looking forward to hand stitching him this evening.
This is a pic of the finished quilt for those that don't know what I am working on during this monthly quilt-a-long. Talking of which, thanks again to Sue and Cathy for hosting this each month-it is a fab idea to have something ready for Christmas and if you join in, you also get their lovely star quilt pattern:)
Happy stitching and hopefully I will get back soon to show some progress:)

.... a shame you have more snow - I hope it doesn't move across here!! But at least it's got you into a Christmassy frame of mind - Santa is coming along a treat!

Love the Santa block. A perfect one to work on today. I was tempted by this pattern a few months ago but I have to draw the line somewhere. Sometimes that line gets further & further away.
ReplyDeleteI love this block. Can't wait to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteLove the block you did! The quilt is going to be very nice when you're done!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a GREAT quilt!! I don't blame you on putting Santa next on the list. That is a great block!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I bet you had such fun stitching on him last nite. He is a cutie for sure!
ReplyDeleteP.S. miss 'chatting' w/you!!

Stunning quilt. You sound extremely busy and yet you manage to do it all.
ReplyDeleteWow! Who wouldn't be mad for Christmas and Santa, seeing that block? and I would love to be stitching him too! He's great - the whole quilt will be awesome!

You are doing a great job on the quilt-a-long! Especially since you are having to work on it between all the running, mom duties, and house chores!! It will be a beautiful quilt when you are finished!
ReplyDeleteHave a grand week~
