1XiAM with Narelle

I have finished making 2 more XMAS TABLE RUNNERS.
They are different sizes because that's all the fabric I had. With the larger one I put wadding in the middle. This was really easy to do.

MY SANTA SACK SWAP

Back in June/July I signed up to be part of a SANTA Sack Swap.

We were assigned a partner then had to go about making 5 handmade gifts and a stocking/sack or tote to put the gifts in. These had to be done and posted by 25th November and not to be opened until XMAS day.

How hard was that. Having lots of presents sitting around for all that time.......

Anyway, this is what I sent my partner, Mel.

Here they all are ready to put in the Sack and post......

Here Is a sweet Mittens stitchery made into a table runner, 2 cotton knitted dishcloths, some tree ornaments and the large SANTA sack to put everything in.

Now someone else just has to fill it each year. How nice is that.......

 A cute square bag, a fabric bowl filled with lollies and a hot chocolate drink pack, a double ended oven mitt and pot holder. I know Mel loves buttons so I gave her a pack of wooden XMAS buttons and then made her a button necklace. If she doesn't want to wear it she can cut the string and have lots of buttons to sew on her projects.

Finishes with friends

My Friday night was spent finishing some Xmas projects.

Like many others over at Cheryll's FNWF I am enjoying my night with my daughter. We are working on more breast cancer awareness hangers & the binding on a puzzle quilt.

I have finally finished not 1 BUT 2 Xmas Tree wall hangings complete with lights. They sparkle so brightly and look amazing.

 Then I got around to finishing my Dresden Xmas  table runner I started at the Toolangi retreat with the Kilmore quilters

Come on Xmas. I just might be ready this year.
