Christmas quilt top finish!!

It's very like a winters evening here, between the winds howling and the rain beating against the window-very comforting and it is just making me itch to stitch!

I probably should be leaving this post until tomorrow, when I can get better pics, but I have finished my quilt top and I am soooo excited!
The colours are quite dark, but I can't wait until daylight.

Goodness, you would nearly think I had the quilt finished with my excitement, but I am just in denial about the mammoth task of quilting-it is always the bit that challenges me most!

Without further ado- my quilt top! I love how the borders were designed and PG's cool way of doing them in wool.





Another little finish-a Cheri pattern, I started last year.



And finally, a peep at tonight's hand stitching!



Thanks again for popping in and I hope you have a stitching evening lined up too,

  9. Wowza Shazy,
    You've certainly finished a mammoth size project and it turned out amazingly beautiful!! You outdid yourself on that one and your smaller Santa is too cute! I can only imagine all the handwork on it and in a timely manner too! I bet you're as pleased as punch to have that one checked off your list, lol. I hope you have a big empty wall to hang it on and show it off.

    Wonderful job and thanks for the inspiration!
