1 Xmas Item a Month - May

I have been a bit quiet this week as my machine has been away for service and I finally got the call to pick it up yesterday so even though it has only been ten days, it seems like a month or more since I have done any sewing on it.  I worked on my Xmas item last night and finished it off today so only one day late with posting and am happy with that. Below is a photo of my item. Thank you to Narelle from Pins and Whiskers blog for hosting this. Link is on my sidebar if you want to check out what others have made.

This was supposed to be a mini quilt but I have added loops on the top and am going to buy a metal hanger for it when I can find one.  Have quite a few hangers in my stash but of course don't have the right size.  Have also stitched another one of these designs but will just make that one into the mini quilt.  This is a Nancy Halvorsen design from one of her older books.

Also whilst I was at the quilt shop, I managed to see these fabrics (actually my friend Jan pointed them out). Haven't been able to find hot rod fabric like this before so just had to bring some home with me.  Will make a quilt for Chris,when I get a few other things out of the way, to use in the car so all hush hush here at the moment.

Well, must go and do a bit more in my sewing room as lots of things on the go and still a couple more finishes to get done before the end of the month.  Hope everyone has a great week. My quilting group is having a morning tea tomorrow with proceeds going to the Cancer Fund so that will be a lovely start to my week.     Bye for now.... Happy Stitching........
