Five years, and it's finished!

 I've been working on this little stitchery for about 5 years I think. That's the label added.

It was a project I would take out from time to time... the kind of stitchery I do when I;m not desperate to work on something. 

Does that ever happen to you? You're desperate to work on something, cannot be swayed from doing it, or if you stop to create something that needs to be made for a gift by a certain time, you just KNOW you will be sidetracked big time, and it could be ages before you come back to it...

Well, you're right, I am describing myself. 

This little Santa stitchery took up so little space in a bag that it was easy to transport for a project on the go, away for the night or something like that.

No wonder I didn't get it finished! I haven't been away for a night for a very long time. Hahahaha.

That surrounding Christmas tree fabric was the inspiration, I just wanted to use it in something, and it was so expensive I bought the least possible amount. Have you ever done that?

Are you every so much in the zone that you forget to take photos of your creations? I feel like I've been creating, creating, creating, and forgotten to take photos. So this is what we end up with! A video of 3 little santas I am making from the "Jumbleberry Santas" pattern by  May Blossom.

I actually went to a quilt shop and sat in on a class, it was wonderful to connect with new ladies and make some friends.  Just Country Crafts  (one of my local shops) had kits of wool felt ready to choose. I choose the purple based one, and added another couple of pieces to add definition.

Maybe I did, and maybe I didn't (that's a big YES! YES! YES! of course) buy a big pack of wool felt in many colours while they were available.

I find wool felt is blink and you miss it, especially in the subtropics where it's too hot to think of using it in a quilt.

I have a couple more projects I'd like to finish for this year's addition to Christmas decorations. 

I am a little bit sad my Pumpkin and Ravens quilt wasn't quilted in time for Halloween, but no matter, I have asked Mum for special custom quilting, and I would like it in time to exhibit at the Townsville Show next year, so I need it by about April/May 2022.

2022. Wow how does that sound?
