Look at what I’ve just finished for this Christmas! It’s Santa still asleep on Christmas Eve and it’s nearly midnight. It’s a Sweetpea design from Australia. It was made in the 8x8 hoop. 9 tiles and I made the window edging I. White instead of the brown - I don’t like Brown!! Just have to back it. Love Chris

P. S. Wednesday evening- Have now finished with backing on. It’s a green fabric. Love Chris

Is that what you do, watch old people sleep? - LOL, You are quite ahead of the time, with the knowledge that in the Christmas season is always too little time. Has become great with the snow on the window. Hugs Maria

Thanks Lidia, I do like the white frame more than a darker colour. Love Chris

What a fun Christmas design! I'm glad you shared it with us. You have been working hard on quite a few very large projects lately.

Hi Karen, yes, I'm waiting to get my large quilt back from the quilter. She SMS'd me on Friday saying she has had Covid and has then hurt her arm, so taking it easy. I told her not to worry, as I'm not in any great hurry for the quilt, as it's going to be my Winter quilt. Love Chris

What a great wall hanging! You used all the right fabrics for the applique. I also like Sweetpeas designs.
