Christmas Wish...

I did something really dumb, I invited some people for lunch tomorrow as a friendly gesture, because they are kind of newish to NZ and our kids school.  And that's not a bad thing it's just that I didn't realize at the time that it is our regional day tomorrow, you know a sit 'n' stitch kind of day, with lot's of food and laughter. And the biggie Grandmother's Garden(they only come once a year) will be there!!!  Oh I could kick myself!  Maybe it's just as well, think of all that money I'll be saving, that's a good thing right? Nope it was still stupid and I still really want to go!!!
To console myself I have shut myself in my sewing room for a good part of the day, for a bit of therapy and this is what I accomplished...


I love it, I don't know why but photo's just don't do a quilt justice, it's just not the same as seeing it in person! Here's a bit of a close-up...


I was going to make this in Christmas fabrics but everytime I audition them, these fabrics kept filing into my thoughts, so I went with them!  They were part of a fat 1/8th pack I bought from Grandmother's Garden last year. 
Oh I really want need to go tomorrow, what a pickle I've got myself into, maybe they will leave early!

Maybe you could take the wife with you under the idea of showing her the area and to meet some new people. ( get DH to keep the others busy ). I love the stitcheries you are very clever nd the fabrics look great.
