It's beginning . . .

. . . to feel a lot like Christmas . . .

I've made a list (and checked it twice. . .) and as long as I don't get too distracted (I may have to cut back on housework and chores - tee hee), I should be able to finish all my Christmas makes before the 25th  ; - )

So, first up, I've started my Christmas quilt . . .
The jellyroll was a birthday gift back in September (thanks Crumblies)  - I do so love these fabrics (Blitzen by Basic Grey for Moda).   The colours just work so well together, don't you think ? And they are just a wee bit of a nice change from the traditional Christmas fabrics.

 I love the Moda jellyrolls & charm packs & layer cakes etc etc  - they take the effort out of measuring and cutting (to a degree anyway), thus appealing to my lazy side. 

So - here's a sneak peek at the first two rows. . . with the sashing in a sweet red & white dotty fabric with squares of little snowmen in between.

And on the topic of sweet snowmen, guess what arrived in the post this week, aside from the usual junk mail and bills?
These oh-so-gorgeous blocks that I'd ordered from the lovely Fee at Chipper Nelly.

Are they not just too cute?  I have a thing about snowmen - just don't seem to be able to resist them !
Hop over to Fee's blog here or pop in to her shop here to see all her other lovely makes.  I ordered some other fab things too, but they're Christmas pressies, so I can't show them to you quite yet.

Right-o, back to my list . . . 

Have a happy weekend,

xoxo
