Progress on the Christmas quilt.

Progress on my Christmas quilt is slow, I keep being distracted by other things. (see my other blog )


                                        The angel is aloft, surrounded by stars.


I added a little 'Love'

'Joy'

and 'Peace'.

I have no plan in mind just stitching and seeing how it turns out.

I'm off to pick up my needle.

Hi Angela this is coming along so well. Love it and especially the angel and dove. So rewarding to be slow stitching!
I love your table set up so beautifully at Cowslip with all of your creations in previous post. Pity blogger won't give us the close up images like they used to!
Hugs,

I'm going to start as I mean to go on and keep my creative side in full swing.  I am putting some Hydraengea flower heads in my Etsy shop, they are made of velvet and come in gorgeous vintage colours.
