Happy New Year

My first little finish of 2016 is this small wool piece by Buttermilk Basin. I've had the kit for over a year and decided I needed something that would be quick to finish. I might frame this or make a pillow. A sweet little project to sit and stitch on New Years Day.

A Woodland Christmas by Bunnyhill Designs is still in the works, this is block 9 of 10. The end is not far off. I'm so happy with how this is turning out. I'm using freezer paper and starch method. And I'm so looking forward to having it completed.

I'm putting the binding on my layer cake quilt. The fabrics are cheery and I'm using a black and white with words on the fabric to bind it.

Enjoy your week.

BOM

I'm making progress on the newest (to me) Bunnyhill BOM called Woodland Christmas. I've really been enjoying these blocks and doing the back basting method of applique. This is a BOM at the quilt shop where I work but not for long. The shop is going to close by the end of June. I'm so sad to loose such a wonderful local shop, we don't have many left in our area anymore. Visit this post to get a glimpse of Creative Edge in North Vancouver.

This block is missing a few details, raccoon needs his eyes, the tree farm sign stitched and the bears tail.

The little hedge hogs were a bit fiddly and so many windows to stitch. The doors are missing the knobs.

I'm so thrilled the group that has been working on this BOM with me still wants to meet after the shop closes. We'll have to switch between houses to make this happen. I really want to keep this group together, we've had so much fun together.

Take care and support your local quilt shop.
