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!
