It still hasn't sunk in it is Christmas I don't think, feels like a normal Friday night, pizza has been consumed and hubby is watching a movie about a robot Western. Kind of strange.
The hearts are all done and a quilt top is together
I still need to take the papers out of the back of the blocks, I am pretty happy with how it turned out.
I haven't been doing a lot of sewing this last week
a few cropped diamonds were sewn together over the last couple of nights, I have been doing a lot of reading. I came across a Rotary book sale and got a bag full of Michael Connelly, so have been working my way through them.
This afternoon I decided to make a table runner for Christmas, yep last minute!! I have had this fabric for years, I got it at a department store in Dusseldorf, Germany, several years ago. It is very simple, just folded in half wadding on the outside, sewn around the edges and turned in, then a row of stitching around the edge and quilted. It is a lovely linen fabric so a really good weight.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, we are going to #1 sons place tomorrow and then having 8 come here Boxing Day. Will be great to catch up with everyone.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas and a safe, peaceful and creative New Year.
Happy stitching.
Love the hearts quilt, so beautiful. And the table runner made from material from Düsseldorf has to be good! Here it's still Friday morning, but I'm spending Christmas on my own, so can do what I want, that's good. Hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and while it is Christmas Eve to me.
ReplyDeleteLove the heart quilt.
While you have not been sewing this week, I have been since school let out Wednesday afternoon. Yay! Love my holiday break!
Our Christmas is always quiet, just the two of us, since our kids come before. It can be very nice to contemplate and rest up!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Xmas celebrations. Merry Xmas to you and your family
ReplyDeleteYour hearts look great Sue, Merry Christmas to you and yours, and hope that 2022 will be better for us all.

ReplyDeleteWatching a robot western on Christmas Eve does sound kinda strange. =) It was all Christmas Carols at the Myer Bowl here. =) LOVE those hearts♡ Enjoy your Christmas Day and Boxing Day celebrations with your family. Have a wonderful time, lovely Sue♡

ReplyDeleteA late Merry Christmas from me.
ReplyDeleteNo problem with last-minute projects - I had a few but gave up in the end.
Well done with the hearts - they look great. And the last minute table runner is perfect - a good way to showcase the gorgeous fabric - fun quilting, it would have been a shame to sew through those little gnomey-santas!
