Secret Santa time.

Hello Everybody,
All my sewing friends are working on their Secret Santa projects bringing some excitement to our weekly class . Thinking about what project to make for the persons  name they drew out.
On the weekend I  finished my Secret Santa gift ready for our Christmas Party day.
My pincushion and door hanger.






 I'm hopeing that she likes them and can put them to use.

I just love getting to quilting class to see what current projects have been created during the week. I make sure I always take my camera.
Two showcases this week.
One from Barbara who is so dedicated to her quilting and produces beautiful quilts. I love the formula of this quilt, the fabric, the florals, the colours, and even the name. "The Tree of Life".



A Baby quilt or Wall hanging Glenda has been working on. Glenda is so creative with her quilts and how cute is this teddy bear quilt.





I love those little teddys.

I mentioned in my last post and put a photo of dear hubby assembling a quilting frame. Well he has finished and next post I will show you how we store it out of the way till needed .They take up a lot of room. We intend to have a lot of fun with it and hope to master some quilting.

This last couple of weeks here it has been teeming with rain, big storms and hail and has turned quite cool also huge seas. Just before the rain started we had bush fires from the heat and drought!!!
As long as tomorrow is fine for my quilting class.
Happy Sewing week everyone,
Jen x

Lovely stitching Jen and you are much better organised for Christmas than I am this year as I have too many new class projects to design and stitch. Take care

who ever receives your santa gift I am sure will be delighted. You have shared 2 real beauties with us, it must be so inspiring to have a group that meets and shares what they are doing, lucky you.

Before I get to the quilts, I have to say that the little koala has captured my heart! And I love the sparkles that come from my mouse when I scroll down the page - cool!
I love the way small quilted project bring that craft into everyday life. For me, it's all or nothing! - big quilts that I'm almost afraid to use because I spent so much time on them! Little projects here and there would solve that problem!

the gifts are lovely for your Secret Santa recipient - and both the beautiful blue "Tree of Life" quilt and the darling teddy's quilt are such finely crafted works :) Merry Christmas!

Your gifts are so gorgeous, Jen. I am sure your giftee was suitably impressed. I also love that teddy bear quilt and the tree of life is amazing too - so much patience she must have. Cheers Di.
