Top Complete

 When I joined the Sew Along for Michelle's " Holly Christmas Cottage " I had some Anni Downs "Under the Mistletoe "   fabric left in my stash which I wanted to use but nothing else matched for borders and background .  Sew my lovely friend Fiona  from Bubz Rugz offered to go shopping for me in her favorite shop "Quilter's Angel" 
After many TXTs and photos she purchased the fabrics which the fabulous ladies sent to me ....         

         Sew it is nice to have Michelle's " Holly Cottage  Cottage" top completed


A little different form Michelle's pattern but I love it...........

Big thanks to Fiona, Raewyn, Chooky and Susan for running another great SAL....

Happy Stitching

It's a great looking finish. I think the fabrics are wonderful, and those borders were a perfect match to the rest.
