Festive fun

This month saw the Christmas meeting of Waterloo Quilters which had decoration making and an optional Secret Santa.

We did a little bit of hand stitching and then some clever folding to make a small hexagon decoration from a two much larger hexagons

For Secret Santa, I made a foldable tray with a foundation paper piece centre behind a clear vinyl pocket and a small biscornu pin cushion that can be clipped into the tray. I hope the recipient will find this useful for sewing days and I think I might need to make one for myself.

Once all the festive sewing was completed, I was able to finish the last of the tiny nine patches I need for my tiny nine patch challenge.

The quilt assembly part of this challenge will have to continue into next year, but I’m pleased to have got this far this year.
