Last week I joined Making Christmas, with Janine at Rainbow Hare and Rebecca of Making Rebecca Lynne and can you believe it, I've actually started sewing one of my Christmas makes!
I grabbed three of my freezer bags of prepared Swoon cuttings and made some blocks!
This one,
Then No. 2
And finally No.3
I think this last one might be my favourite!!
Nothing cleared off the list, maybe I should have started with a smaller project!!
Have you started any Christmas making? Go and have look at all the other list that have been started!!

I really love the blue with white dot fabric, even if it is making my eyes go a tiny bit wonky...
I'm pretty chuffed with getting these sewn this week, it's been a pretty busy week what with the beast only arriving on Wednesday and I only posted my Making Christmas list on Wednesday. Now I just need to get on and make the other six!Nothing cleared off the list, maybe I should have started with a smaller project!!

Hootenanny Quilt for Son No.2
Doll's House Mat for Rose, I want it to go on the wall!?!

ReplyDeletesigned up but got no further with mine! Love these swoon block colourways but what is a swoon block? (keep coming across them in blogs but not sure what it means!)
