Been doing these this past week, plus finishing off Dad's memory quilt, for some reason I can't upload it, so I'll try again later. Love Chris

P.S. Boot and Candle applique are from JuJu's, Christmas holly (dark green one) is from 3Bells and the last Holly is from Ann The Gran.

I'm with you Erma, that was my plan. Each lady can have one for their Christmas season and use it on Christmad Day, I hope! Love Chris

They look great. Good for you getting your Christmas projects done early. It seems I always wait to the last minute.

Hi Betty, no I didn't make the holders, but I do have one I've bought from A Stitch A Half that I am intending to try. I just need to find some already quilted fabric, or do my own, I suppose! Love Chris

Very nice work Chris - I saw these when you first uploaded them - but I couldn't get in to make a comment. I was wondering if you had to unstitch these on one side to get them in your hoop? Lovely!

Thanks Shirlene - I've been having all sorts of trouble trying to upload pictures to PROJECTS. I have tried several times today to put up Dad's quilt, but it just wouldn't work. I had a low JPG too!

Yes, you are right, I unpicked the pot holder so as to get it in my 5x7 hoop. Worked a treat and then I resewed it up. Love Chris

Lovely job! I'm jealous that you are already getting ready for Christmas! I always seem to be behind. Oh me, where does the time go. lol Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Patsy, I always start getting organised in August, once Spring gets here in September it is all down hill to Christmas.

We have things appearing in October for Christmas, which is ridiculous. Especially for the children as it's such a long time for the little ones to wait all those months.

Love chris
