My Secret Santa Swap parcel arrived today from my partner Christine. I have to keep telling myself DO NOT OPEN TILL CHRSTMAS MORNING.
Before popping my gifts in the my beautiful Santa Sack I gave them the mandatory feeling, squeezing and shaking. Hmmm!!
Thank you Christine.
this week I have managed to finish my last Henrietta Block so now I am putting them together
the centre block for my Friendship Medallion Quilt
Some more blocks for my Quilt-A-Long.
and finally stitched the 480 blocks into 240 squares for the Mystery Quilt I am doing with the ladies from Patch.
pressed and trimmed ready for the next step.
Gosh you have had a busy time with lots of progress on your projects. How exciting to have Christmas presents already~!!! I look forward to seeing Henrietta Whiskers assembled - its very cute.

Once again you've been very busy and got lots done. Glad the parcel arrived safely. Hoping to get some more work done on something special today! I wonder what it could be! It's gone back to winter here so a perfect day to sit by the fire and stitch.
ReplyDeleteoooh, what beautifully wrapped gifts ;-)
ReplyDeletemy, you have been busy
All this sewing your doing is making me dizzy....I'll need a rest after admiring it all. Maybe you could just peek into you yummy Christmas parcels and rewrap them tightly?
ReplyDeleteThe Santa bag must be filling up now. The presents look lovely and the labelled bag is great. All your blocks look beautiful. I love the colours in the quilt along blocks.
ReplyDeleteGolly Jeepers Maria! Have you even had time to sleep???????????????? LOL
ReplyDeleteI am really So good at waiting or Christmas, but having those pretty packages right under my nose would be hard to resist. But on the bright side - at least you can feel , shake and enjoy the inspiration. How neat is that !
Love , Love, LOVE all of your hard work. Did you ever dream when you were a little girl that you would grow up to be a "Fiber - Artist"?
You've been busy since my last visit. Well done Maria. Cheers
ReplyDeleteLooks like there has been lots of action in your cave this week. Gorgeous blocks.
ReplyDeleteHope those pressies survived the 'squeeze'!
enjoy
I'm sure you will be strong and wait till Christmas to open your gifts. The anticipation will be killing you though. You've been so busy with your projects. I see some finished articles coming up soon.
ReplyDeleteHide them... out of sight out of mind??? Well it's worth a try!
ReplyDeletedarn, you are good. I am jealous!
