Christmas Makes Week 3!

Yesterday, I broke the iron! I think it has a heart attack at the thought of more HST's! So I'm only one Swoon block up from last week, along with a pile of squares to be trimmed and ironed!
But my big finish this week in my Christmas Makes is my Hootenanny Quilt Top!
I really love this fella! He is very quiet (unlike most in this house!) and he is just making me smile today, oh and feel a little bit paranoid! Those sparkly eyes are still following me everywhere!
I could only work on him, when son No.2 was out, so he still has on idea that I've started his quilt. I need to get shopping for some backing and wadding to turn this top into a quilt.
And heres Swoon block No.4
My list so far.....


Swoon Quilt for the Parents - 4 of the blocks done
Hootenanny Quilt for Son No.2 - Quilt Top is complete 
Doll's House Mat for Rose, I want it to go on the wall!?!
Christmas Table Runner - I keep getting distracted searching for ideas on Pinterest! 
Polar Bear Cushion  
Christmas Dress of Rose - I now know I'm going to make another Book Report Dress in Christmassy Cheesy fabric! 

So, thats two well on there way and the rest being ignored! I think that is a pretty good week when you consider I churred out two outfits of the little lady too here and here!
I'm not long in from work, so I'm taking a glass of wine to the sofa to watch Strictly and catch up on some of October's Woodland Sampler!  But will be checking out the other Making Christmas progress thats been linked up at Kristy of Quiet Play.
Now, where was that Argos catalogue for the new iron...... I have Swoon blocks to make

  3. Remember, just 'cos you're paranoid doesn't mean he's not out to get you ;o)

  5. Shame about your iron there is obviously a limit to how many HAT's an iron is prepared to take! Congratulations on finishing that Hootenanny quilt top it looks great.

  7. My iron is playing up a little, too. I think I need to give it some loving and de-scale it... Still very much in love with the owl. If I didn't have enough on my plate already it'd be perfect for my sister...one to add to the future makings list, though, I think..
