Pip's Playground....and a winner!

It was great to get one last quilt finished before the 

end of the year!

Presenting "Pip's Playground"....

I held onto my stash of Sherbet Pips for a L.O.N.G 

time!

But now its finished I love it!

I chose a fairly simple quilting design....

I did some straight lines first and then my standard 

stipple.....

It has a Christmassy, winter feel to it.....

I really love the effect of the back too...

I chose a spotted binding...

It looks quite at home on one of my lounge chairs...

Final dimensions- 48" X 66"

-perfect snuggling size!

And finally, what you are all waiting for...

The winner of my 'flying geese' tote is.....

(0h, where did the number go? It was there before....)

Cindy!

and she said....

I have emailed her...

(I must look out for that fabric suggestion; its not one 

I am familiar with.)

Thank you to everyone for sharing their plans for 

2013- tackling the UFO pile was popular-

and the fabric you are holding out for- 

"Glimma" and "Architextures" are now on my list too!

Happy days!

Merry Christmas everyone!

In celebration of the season, 

I would like one of my followers to have 

this!

In the recent Mouthy Stitches swap I made two tote    

bags....

So this one is FTAGH...

(free to a good home)

The lining is a little bit of a surprise!

You get a bit of a peek at the bright yellow...

If you would like this to come and live in your house, 

leave a comment on this post....

telling me your sewing intentions for 2013,

or what fabric you think everyone will be buying in  

the New Year!

I will draw a winner in about a week, when I come 

back to do a re-cap of my makes for 2012.

Until then, have a wonderful Christmas and time with 

family and friends...

Thank you for being an important part of my little 

corner of blogland!

Giveaway now closed....winner announced soon!

Another week has come and gone....

I hope everyone had a happy Christmas...

Ours was quiet but full of family, 

lovely gifts, laughs and great food....

Eggnog, gingerbread and White Christmas flavoured macaroons!

including macaroons!

My week included sewing, of course!

The Museum Medallion is slowly growing 

and

"Pip's Playground" is now complete!

(I'll save the full reveal 'til next time.)

I have cut out two red felt coats...

just six inches tall!

And finished two Modern Stitching Bee blocks!

Quatrefoil block 

Finally, there's still time to comment here....

come and live with you!

I will draw a winner after the weekend!

Happy days!
