Chertsey, and Christmas

I had a lovely afternoon with the ladies at Chertsey Museum on Friday. We were making book covers - some used the results from last month's transfer painting, some used fabric, and Denise used a piece she painted herself.

Most are being finished at home - I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished items next month

Meanwhile I've finished sewing together the blocks of a Christmas quilt.

Inspired by these fab blocks that Nicky (Mrs Sew and Sow) has been posting, (great colour combos) and this Christmas quilt from Carla at Grace and Favour, (and half price FQs from hobby craft) I have made this flimsy :-)



 It needs basting and quilting, but it *might* be ready by Christmas!

    I have not seen a quilt like this before, do like the loose pin wheels and the book covers look good too

    Delightful :) Benta. I'm always sweet on pinwheels. I have always thought I wanted to try the 3-D pinwheels. Janita

    Your Christmas quilt is just fantastic and the cover books are super cool, and the woman one is my fav.
