My parcel for my swap partner is on it's way and should be there in a day or two. Here are my gifts, wrapped and ready before posting. I have loved making these and am looking forward to the 25 th when they will be opened by ????? Maybe it could be you............ A big thank you to Cheryll for hosting this.
I have also joined the Aiming for Accuracy QAL (link on side bar). Well, we are at week 3 and I have to get a wriggle on to complete the first 3 blocks and catch up. I have them cut out so just have to sew them together. I had selected Giddy fabrics from my stash but after looking at what I had, realised that I would struggle to have enough fabric for some of the bigger blocks so below are the fabrics that I have now chosen (again from my stash but with a couple of bigger pieces in the mix). So that is what is on my agenda for tomorrow.
It is an old Moda line called Nell's Flower Garden. Below are photos of a Leanne Beasley sewing roll and a table runner that I made from it in 2008 so the fabric has been around for a good while.
Well must go and see if I can get a bit more stitching done tonight. Be back soon.............
Good to be using an old favourite again. Your parcels look lovely.

ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Christmas in July...it just provides a pop of excitement in the middle of the dreariness of winter. Those wee gift parcels look wonderful.

I'm with you...I signed up for Aiming for Accuracy too and I have not even started yet due to being busy with final touches on Christmas in July. That is on the way now SO... My goal for FNSI *WAS* to get caught up on those 3 blocks but my partner in crime has talked me in to doing two of each block so we end up with 2 quilts. My new goal is to have the two sets cut and ready to sew on Friday night. I have Caramel Tim Tams and Wendy B promised to bring good coffee, so I am all ready! xx debbie
