1st SAL.....Peg, Dale and I committed to stitching Anni Downs - A Gardener's Journal in March.

'Tis Done.......

This week I have done some quilting and binding

'tis done


I used fabrics I had.... so it is a 'scrappy' Christmas hanging
bordered in a dark blue

the sashing has gold - which glitters prettily in the light


I found some old sheets vintage stripes for the backing

quilted around the blocks and a bit of fun on the borders


used the wreath block for my label
(I love the little silver reindeer) 

Thanks Chookyblue... I haven't got a Christmas hanging - it will be such fun to decorate this year.
