Nice and New Ornament!


Great reading all the last news on our SAL blog:-) Bit more
activity now and that gives inspiration. I really rushed this
morning after having checked our blog.

Here in Norway I have the last day of Christmas decorations. Today the
06 of January is the 13th Day of Christmas and a big cleaningup to do.

But very proud showing you my block I. Think it looks super being an
ornament,just for the time being, next to the ornament I received
from Liz at Luv2Cre8te in the SSCS. Very keen now starting on the
Orchard block with the sweet little bug. By February maybe-maybe the
borders could be sewn on.

So till then HAPPY SEWING to you all! Looking sooooooooo forward
to seeing my finished quilt hanging here on the wall above me.

Beautiful!
I have all of my decorations in the guest room waiting to be boxed up for storage but at least they're out of sight.
Happy stitching...the goal is in sight.

I love your block I and are sure you will have it all sewed together very soon. The Christmas is over and we are waiting for a more blue sky. It is so dark all day long.
