Happy Christmas!

 Wishing you all the best wishes for the festive season!

And using my latest Christmas quilt to help me do it!

Isn't it fab?  I finished it a couple of weeks ago, but now is the time for it to be lit up and revealed.  It's the first one I've ever made with fairy lights on!

Here it is without the lights being on.  It's a cute pattern isn't it? Mine was made from a kit, so I didn't even have to rummage through my scrap drawers looking for scraps that would play together.  It made it really fast to make!

Can you see that I tried to bring in different quilting textures for the tree, compared to the tub and the background?

And different again for the linear design on the star.

I forgot to take a photo after I'd added the 20 button holes for the lights (thank goodness for a semi automatic button holer - it made the process very easy).

If you want a kit, I'd really recommend it.  It even included the lights, and came packed in a clear project or pencil case.  It's from Little Patch Pockets and they sell three different colour ways - it's called 'Spruced Up'.  Worth looking at their other patterns, kits, and bits and bobs too.

Hope that you are going to have a lovely Christmas too!
