Every house needs a Christmas quilt, don't they? I pulled out my precious F8 bundle of Aneela Hoey's Cherry Christmas, made some templates and got cutting. Before domestic chores like making dinner and the ironing pile interupted I got this far in the piecing.
This is going to be my Christmas Tree Farm quilt. If you look closely you will notice that not all the trees on the farm are growing at the same rate. There are still a lot more trees to plant, but I am rather happy with my little divergence from 'the list' today. Back to the necessary tasks in the morning.
I will be in the house alone tomorrow as the girls go back to school, half term having ended. I will even get more than ten minutes at a time on this computer again. Now there's a thought!

its having a new project that keeps you fresh for the .. MUST do soon ..list xx
ReplyDeleteNice work Britney ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat, the girls wouldn't cook dinner so you could play? Meanies... ;o)
ReplyDeleteI have no comment - as the queen of starts I heartily feel your need for divergence...who gives a toss about what 'should' be done, it will still be there tomorrow, waiting...
ReplyDeleteEvery quilter's home should have a Cherry Christmas quilt, it is the law, so you are only stopping yourself from being locked up! xxx
ReplyDeleteSo you did! It is in a worthy cause though...
ReplyDeleteOf course every house needs a Christmas quilt and you're only being a total saint making one :) I would actually say you're obliged to make one if you haven't got one already.
ReplyDeleteYou know what they say, a change is as good as a rest, and new projects help keep us a bit fresh with our old projects- looks fab so far Mrs! x
ReplyDeleteIs this THE Christmas quilt? In which case it's certainly a necessity rather than luxury :-) and everyone needs a bit of Cherry Christmas. I'm about to start my second one this week, having stupidly sold the first one hehehe.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a beauty...and we all deserve to start something new and fabulous when the mood strikes. Nothing like a new project for re-infusing the mojo at bit.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been sandwiches or a Macca's run at my place for tea if I was in the middle of a new project.
Cherry christmas is one of my faves too - love your "trees" so far!
ReplyDeleteThere is definitely a need for a Christmas quilt! It should take precedence over pretty much everything! I love the little Christmas trees, and it's going to be very cute :-)
ReplyDeleteE xx
It is going to be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Love the fabric range... and good on you for starting a new project...you deserve to, with all your finishes of late.
ReplyDeleteI am making Xmas Pillow Cases for 5 little nieces/nephews. A bit hot here for 5 quilts (thankgoodness)!
That'll be such a happy tree farm! A great new project. Enjoy the quiet tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea of a Christmas tree farm!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWe'll make a country girl of you yet - even if it's only at Christmas-time!! Jxo
ReplyDeleteOf course every house needs a Christmas quilt! And such a fun and cheery fabric for it!
ReplyDeleteI love your tree farm and their different growth rates! I was planning my holiday quilt yesterday for my bee mates to work on. But I still also want a tree quilt too.
ReplyDeleteGreat work! Hello from Montreal.
ReplyDeleteI need a Christmas quilt too. Yours will be lovely.
