Christmas in July is so expected. That is when folks start their big projects for the upcoming holiday.Christmas in January...now that's thinking outside of the box!
Truth be told, I made this above Christmas ornament for my darling niece back in December and forgot to show it off then. Cannot resist posting a picture of it for you to enjoy.
I used Jinny Beyer's book on patchwork puzzle balls and it was super easy.
Does anybody out there have Jinny's new book yet - Quilter's Album of Patchwork Patterns? I really REALLY want this book BAD.
And speaking of new books....Yoko Saito has just released a new book on basket quilt blocks. It is called Basket Made From Cloth.
Meanwhile, I'm still feverishly working on the crochet scarf that I mentioned in my last post. I will confess to you that I'm secretly really looking forward to wearing it.
I am amazed to see your Christmas ornament. It looks awesome. It was nice going through your blog. Keep it up the good work. Ihampers.co.uk
