Cross Stitch from Wendy's Quilts and More

I haven't done any quilting in January - instead I've been busy cross stitching.

The online Jingle Ball online event in December rekindled my interest in cross stitching, and seeing all the beautiful hand made Christmas decorations on Instagram definitely got me motivated to stitch more.

Through the Jingle Ball I became aware of some different designers, so I've been stitching decorations designed by Hands On Design and Erica Michaels. The one above is part of Christmas Countdown by Erica Michaels and it's going to be finished as a drum - something new for me!

These two below ...

2022 Christmas Countdown - Mill Hill Santas from Wendy's Quilts and More

Day 17 of my 2022 Christmas Countdown and it's my Mill Hill Santas.

I have five finished Santas now. I do recall saying that I would continue making these Mill Hill Santas rather than joining the Prairie Schooler Santa train, but somehow I weakened and I've now made two Prairie Schooler Santas too!

These kits are so well made and contain everything you need, except the felt to go on the back. I've just kitted up my next two Mill Hill Santas to take on holiday with me because they're such a pleasure to stitch.

I really do enjoy stitching these decorations. Everything is in the kit - even the needles, and they don't take long at all. I think this one has only taken me a week, with other things ...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Wendy's Quilts and More

2019 is almost over. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with family and friends. We certainly did here.

I cleared my sewing table in the family room and we put the presents on the table, rather than under the tree this year.

I got 3 new Mill Hill Santas to join the one I've already made. I love making these little decorations and they look so good on the tree. Here are some other Mill Hill kits I've made in previous years.

I gave mum some of the new Land Art fabric by Odile Bailloeul ...
