First I had to do some prep work before stitching the stars together and onto the block.
Stitching the stars on takes some time as the block is getting big to handle. Only 6 more stars after these to do and then the block will be done.
When I come home today this was sitting on Lacy's kennel ..
A REAL Christmas Tree ..
Hubby knew I wanted one, so it was a lovely surprise that he'd bought the tree for me...
Must away and go to bed ..
Happy stitching
Hugs Maria ❤
I love the smell of a real Christmas tree. I'm sure you will enjoy getting all your decorations out. Do show us a pic when it is done. There is minimal Christmas decoration in our home

ReplyDeleteLovely surprise! Hope it lasts until Christmas - no more 40-degree days.
ReplyDeleteLa Pas looks good. What a lovely surprise. I'd love a live Christmas tree. :)
ReplyDeletePutting your pieces on the mat put the size into perspective. It is pretty small and gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet is Blue. Enjoy decorating it.
ReplyDeleteYour block is growing nicely and the tree is a great one. xx
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a stunning block, so effective. A lovely tree to decorate as well, lucky you.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on the stitching front. There is nothing like the smell of a real Christmas tree. Don't forget to share a photo when it is all "dressed up".
ReplyDeleteI admire folks who have the patience for making those amazing La Passacaglia projects. I'm pretty sure I would give up before I could finish one. Your colors are amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove this project that you have been working on and how lovely to have a real Christmas Tree! Have a lovely week. Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThere is so much detail in your block! A live tree…..how fun. Do you have a spot to plant it after Christmas?
ReplyDeleteGreat job with that hand piecing project, i admire anyone who hand sews, just not in my job description!! And you can't beat a real christmas tree, smells like Christmas always was in my childhood!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt will be so striking with those bold colours. Lucky you to have a live tree. Now we need to see it decorated.
