Anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE Christmas, so I couldn’t resist making a quilted Christmas countdown wall hanging, that way i can keep you guys up to date too 😉 A free pattern for this will be available very soon, its on my to-do list for Monday. as of today there are only 37 till Christmas – yay!!
The Christmas countdown wall hanging comes with a cute drawstring bag to hold all the numbers in, and is tied onto the quilt with some adorable ribbon from Groves, and available in all well stocked craft stores
I couldn’t resist a cute ‘HO HO HO’ wall hanging to go with the ‘SNOW’ wall hanging i made last week, i just love the cute Christmas fabrics from Craft Cotton. The blue fabric was perfect for creating snow globes for the ‘O’s and a little fussy cutting of the snow animals
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a special quilt for my dogs, and Camelot fabrics have released the cutest Christmas dog fabric, available from Craft Cotton and Hobbycraft
*** Free Tutorial with pattern coming soon***
One of my dogs, (my very old lady dog) was keen to pose for her photo too 🙂
I hear you ask… have you done anything unrelated to Christmas…
Yes i have, so thanks for still being here and reading on 🙂
This week i was thrilled to see my ‘Monochrome Zoo’ quilt on show at the Craft Cotton stand at this years Quilt market – This was made from a new collection which is due to arrive at Craft Cotton really soon, and with this will be the release of my quilt pattern
Head over this week to the Craft Cotton Blog to grab my free pattern and tutorial for my ‘Cookies and Milk’ mug rug, using the super cute woodland fabric

Hi Michelle! I love every bit of this post. I adore every moment of Christmas, and in fact have some Santa gourds on my mantle 24/7/365. The are too darn cute to pack away. It’s never too early to decorate for it in my book. I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed your IBA time. I would love to try being one, but don’t think it’s the right time. I don’t need any stress trying to come up with new and/or different projects each month. That sounds really, really hard. I’ve enjoyed all the projects you’ve shared. Happy Sunday! ~smile~ Roseanne

I don’t do much for Christmas right now. The kids – my son and the cousins are mostly late teens to young adults, so we are in the in between time. I am making one little Christmas thing this week for a blog hop next week. The countdown is adorable, I am just glad I have little to do this year!
