...getting into the Christmas spirit!!!! I've been working on a quite a few projects all at the same time so my heads been in a bit of a spin...
...starting to quilt a table runner with my first attempt at using a walking foot. Ooohh, it took me a while to get the foot fitted properly but it seems to be working well so far. It will get a real test in the next couple of weeks so I'll report back then
...playing with some bits and bobs to make a Christmas wreath...
...working on some secret Christmas presents...
...making Cranberry Sauce for Christmas Dinner. When I was a little girl, my Mum always gave me the job of making this on Christmas Eve so it holds very special memories for me. My In-Laws have also grown to love this and in recent years I have taken to making it a few weeks in advance and pouring it into sterilised jars so that I can gift one and keep one. Just perfect. And it makes the house smell all Christmassy which is one of the best bits!
