January 2021, 1 Xmas Item a Month ,
Anyway, I'm going to attempt to make Christmas decorations through the year.
Here is the first, Songbird Christmas Tree by Shawn Yorke of Rusty Crow.
I've also finished the wreath block this week.
Now onto Cherokee Rose the Georgia block.
With the snow still lying and freezing fog it was good to be indoors sewing with friends. I did some more to the wreath block. Just five leaves to sew down tonight. I've just noticed that I've not yet added the centre pieces.
I also started my, Sugar Plum Parish Christmas Wool Applique Ornaments.
I've done some work on the Songbird Christmas Tree.
These I hope will be sewn, one each month.
Tomorrow, Sunday, I hope to visit the other FNwF blogs.
Happy sewing

Thank you to Cheryll for hosting Friday Night with Friends, I managed to do my sewing in the morning and afternoon in the U.K. Hopefully whilst others were sewing around the world. The snow didn't appear as forecast but there was a cold wind from the north.
Some progress on my wreath block.
I hope to sew again this afternoon. We are allowed to exercise for an hour outside, so I'll be going for a walk as well. Now time to make my salad for lunch,
happy sewing

After basting all the shapes for this wreath it's time to start the applique. I find the overlay really helps with the placement of the pieces.
I'm not going to walk today, my housemaids knee was too painful yesterday. I have washed the bedding and refilled all the bird feeders. We'll be lucky to get above freezing today, so the poor birds are very happy to be fed.
Unfreezing the various bird baths was also necessary.
I'm revisiting a kit I bought on an online selling site. It is an old 1984 kit called Thirteen Colonies Album Quilt Kit.
I have finished four blocks, grapes,
grain
and two wreathes,
now onto another wreath.
happy slow stitching.
