I will be off grid for the next 4 months because of health issues. But I am still hoping to create a wall hanging to swap. Good luck ladies.

Merry Christmas everyone . It is pretty hot here in Western Australia . No white Christmas here. I will be doing my wall hanging in an aircon sewing room to keep cool . keep sewing everyone , all the best to you all for 2023 Rosalyn

Just letting you know I'll be in again Rhonda. And I'm with R-sea in saying it's hot here in WA I'm spending Christmas with my son and his family in Exmouth . Just been for a swim 6 pm and the water so warm and no wind. Happy Christmas everyone.

Donna wishing you a Merry Christmas health issues not withstanding. I'm sorry you are dealing with such health problems!! Praying you will get your heath on a better standing.

Happy Christmas everyone. Stay safe all of you In the path of that expected blizzard.

I have spent the past few days cutting strips, and then some subcuts. I look forward to the sewing.
Susan

I finally finished cutting out all the pieces to the top. I think I pulled a back muscle from all my moving around. Lol....I'm getting old.
Susan

I actually have my top pieced and the sandwich done. Waiting on a walking foot for my Janome HD9 to start quilting.

I had a productive Sunday, which doesn't happen to often on the farm :)

Started my wall hanging this afternoon and have a little cut and sewn…..I’m not sure yet where I’m going with this but am hoping it turns out the way I can see it in my mind. 😂

Last swap, skaduzy sent me some great fabric as a little extra. I wanted to share what I did with it. For Christmas, I made bears for all my children. I changed a simple Simplicity bear pattern by adding a hidden lined zippered pocket in the back, then filled the bear with goodies: Gift cards, candies, chap stick etc. Just wanted to share what I did with a added fabrics.

Heather, you are amazing! Those are adorable and I am so happy you used the fabric 😊 and especially that you used it for your kids.

Great idea heather! I have that pattern, but, I never thought to put a zip in the back.

I actually lined the pocket, so goodies will not get into the bear itself. It took some figuring on the size, but once I figured out the measurements it went right in.

That is so beautiful Heather

That little bear is so cute, and what a great idea making a place for all the goodies.
Susan

Heather, I just love your bear. I did the same bear last year for some babies down in Florida last Christmas but I did not think to add a pocket like you did. Great job.
I just wanted to let everyone know, I completed my wall hanging. I did a paper pieced 'Tree of Life" block and framed it. I did try a new type of binding where you face the quilt instead of wrap regular binding. Took me a while to wrap my brain around how it was done. But I think it looks great. I did free motion quilt it.
Having my 2md cataract surgery next Wednesday (first was last Monday and boy do I love the colors I am seeing now), so won't be on the board much this month. But I will be wishing everyone great success with their wall hangings.

I keep hoping this is the month I can jump back into the swap. Between my job and the two farms I own and manage it keeps me hopping! But I think I will have a small wall hanging completed for this month - YAY!

I love the bear with the zipper. What a clever idea!

Rumbols I will be planning to have cataract surgery soon. I can't stand not seeing things clearly, and everything seems dark.
I hope your next one goes well.

Susan

Thank you JuneBillie. I just have one more day to wait. But I can tell you it is great seeing colors again. I found my neighbors cars were blue instead of black, like I thought. LOL What a rush.
You will enjoy it as it is the easiest surgery I have ever had. It just takes a while to recover from but there is no pain which is the best part. Good luck with yours,

hello
 

how do you join this swap? Is it still going on? Thank you

I am just finishing up the sleeve on my WH, so I am in!
