I decided my Xmas stitchers project was to be one that I started about 2011.
The pattern was a Rosalie Quinlan design from 2010. The shop I used to go to often was Quilters Bazaar in Gisborne. They had a block of the month and I just had to do it.
All I had done is the 1st month and had started the 2nd month.
I stitched the wings and hair on this block. It just needs its little numbered pocket on it.
My daughter bought it too but didn’t sew very much at all. When she gave me back all her sewing supplies this was amongst it. At least it was altogether in a folder but no threads with it.
This 1st block is stitched. The pockets have not been attached.
The 2nd block was started.
Looks like I’ll be finishing both projects.
These sew up to make a lovely advent calendar. Each block has a little pocket with the days number on it.
My grandsons are now 17 and nearly 15 so by the time these are finished they will make nice gifts for their homes in the future.

Looks like a lovely project Jo.
Its going to be beautiful Jo & so special. I love Rosalie Quinlan patterns & have quite a few. I got to meet her here in New Zealand once & she was so lovely - very much missed. xx
That is very cute
How good to be working in these long lost UFOs. It will be good to see them to the finish line.
What a great project to work on for your family. xx
Loved all Rosalies designs, I was lucky to do a couple of classes with her. Jo, I’m sorry to be asking, but how is your husband these days. Take care x
These Advent calendars are beautiful, I'm sure you'll finish them... for your two grandchildren. Mine are 19 and 17... I'm currently making a quilt for one of them, and of course they can choose whether they want it :-))) It's so much fun to make something beautiful for a loved one.
I hope you enjoy stitching and sewing.

A lovely pattern - and will be treasures for your grandsons...and their children
The finished advent calendars will be treasured by your grandchildren. This looks like a fun slow stitching project.
It is a lovely project and one that is definitely worth doing. Good luck.
