As inspiration does not seem to come for the 5th and last bookshelves quilt, I decided to already start the quilting of #1. I started it on Sunday evening, continued in the train yesterday on my way back home (it’s funny how people in the train were staring at me
) and almost finished it yesterday night.
Because of its size (38 cm x 38 cm), I didn’t use a loop and have to admit I find it easier to quilt.
I hope to finish the quilting today, put the binding so that I can come back to show you the finished project very soon.

Like 12 months ago, I realise that I would not have enough time to make an advent calendar for each of my 2 boys. But this year, I will not miss the pleasure to bring them a surprise for each day of December before Christmas. So this is what I thought:
If I make them each a sock (this one is packed and ready to be brought to the post office
) and hang it on the handle of their bedroom door, I can fill it every night with a little surprise they will discover in the morning (a good motivation to get out of bed, don’t you think ?
).
Now the most difficult part: find 24 surprises for each !!!

I haven’t met so much difficuties for finishing a project as I did for this one. I had four possibilities: a bag, a cushion, a panel or a tea cosy. I started 2 projects but had to unsew them: not convenient at all because my patch is too big for what I wanted. So I finally went for a simple panel, which suites me more.

Another project in the spirit of Christmas.

I don’t know for you but 1st December is the day I’m waiting impatiently as it’s the day I generally arrange Christmas decorations inside and outside the house.

Only Sixteen days left for creating some handcraft decorations. A good reason for starting (and finishing) a Xmas star.

Five different fabrics, three different colors for 2 different sides. And when the Christmas tree is gone, this decoration can become a nice pincushion.

The Christmas spirit has entered the house and will stay with us for a looooong time !

For this 4th edition, I wanted something completely different from the others and found inspiration while looking at the cover of a quilting magazine.

Only one mini quilt to be done and the quilting can begin !
Wishing you a nice weekend.

For this third episode, I went for a 9 patch, still using some red, beige and brown.

N°4 is almost ready (at least I have an idea of the pattern – which is nothing compared to choosing fabric
) but I haven’t made up my mind yet for the 5th and last quilt. A good night sleep may help.
Stay tuned: I’ll be back soon !

Here is number 2.

A lot of red, even though it is not my favorite color. But it brings a lot of warm. Number three is on the way.

Today, I had the pleasure of having friends at home. Friends who didn’t come empty handed.

Look at those beautiful pouches that Danielle made for me. They look like 2 sisters: Danielle, big sister and Rachel, little sister.

Danielle’s sense of detail.

As for Palmira, she brought me this huge and gorgeous bircornu, all embroidered. A real masterpiece.
Thank you Danielle and Palmira; you are 2 fairies with magic fingers.
