Interesting! I always like a touch of tartan amongst the Christmas decorations … the pageant in our state capital always has at least one pipe band marching along with the floats, and my parents were friends with members of a band. was always fun to pick out the familiar faces!

Our local pageant was last night, so there are not many sleeps left before Christmas day.

All Spruced Up Tree Skirt

As our good friends at Monty Python's Flying Circus used to say, "and now for something completely different!"  I've had a series of life-sized wall hangings bopping around in my head for months now, and finally managed to birth the first one (s). These giant (6 ft. tall) toy soldiers add a fun, whimsical touch to our Christmas decorating. Simple to make for even a beginner quilter, the pattern has straight seams, rotary cut pieces, and fused appliqué features. These wall-hangings are intended for indoor use, protecting doorways, or standing guard beside the presents under your Christmas tree ...

Every day between December 1^st and 12^th, the Quiltmas elves delivered a new, free block pattern. Stitch up every block for a holiday celebration quilt or choose your favorite to turn into pillows or wall ...

These designs have a very lacy look, which is why they got the title from Aunty Flo, as she did a lot of tatting.

Lovely!

Very formal, but also cheerful for Christmas

A little bit more colour and it is more cheerful!

Love the first design! The colours are great, the quilting is great … etc.

The border could perhaps be more ornate, but our bedroom is rather small and so the border is not really visible so a plain border would be fine in that room.

Love the second design too.
