Hi one and all, I've been busy finishing off some things for my annual ladies Christmas luncheon for this year. I've done the 8 tea towels with SNOWFLAKES on them as this is the theme for this year.

Then I finished off my 1st casserole cover, but I stuffed up the binding section and instead of being on the outside I've put it on the inside. Easily rectified with the next 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got to make.

I've also finished my surprise gift for the Newcastle Sewing Guild this Thursday. We were all given 1 metre of white fabric and asked to make something useful to give to another person (like Secret Santa).

So here they are:

1. 8 navy blue (colour is not true!!) tea towels with Snowflakes on them. The designs are from Kara's Kreations - called "Winter in White".

2. Casserole cover from Dixie Doodles - "Cozy Toter" - you have to cut out 6 circles for each cover!!!! Three for the upper (top, batting and lining) and the same for the lower part! I had to do this by hand too as you can't cut out circles with a rotary cutter too easily - well I can't!

3. Blue and white embroidered table topper - I used the self binding baby quilt instructions from the Missouri Quilt company for the backing fabric. It's so easy!

I also did some squares for 2 of my American friends as well. It's been a really wet couple of days and great for sewing! Love Chris
