Oh my gosh Heaven that is GORGEOUS!! Love it! I have a rotary cutter but Im not that good at it haha! The one I found was THIS one, with different colours, and I might use a patterned fabric applique for the numbers instead of hand embroidery. Being felt it doesn't fray either so I wouldn't have to worry about the edges!
SS that is a long list but if you start early you will be fine plus I find that making more of one of things is good because the first one is like a prototype and the rest are easy and go fast!
I'm joining!!!
My current project im doing is my wedding crossstitch (not really a xmas one)
but I am planning on make gifts again this year for people, I just havent decided what yet.
Most likely will be paintings.
but for when i really decide what i'm doing, Ill be using you girls for motivation!!
Ohhh I like the look of those advent calendars too.... I don't usually have one ata ll. So what's the point... like do I fill it at the start for the kids to take out on that day or do we fill it as the days go by & have a big stash at the end?
Fj. usually you count down towards Christmas, but your idea is cool too - save it all up for the day itself.
I want to do a table runner to MIL to have on the table and I'd like to try a tree skirt - not that we have a real tree, but they look really nice. I also have to try to finish off my decorations - little cross stitch stockings. But Uni is winding up at the end of the week so I should have time to get stuck into it all.
I have decided to do a red and white Christmas tree theme this year (bought some lovely red and white wrapping papers) and I bought a large red and white check fabric on the weekend that I plan to make some decorations with it.
Yep Trillian, I wanted to put the name either in the long red block or initial in the small centre red square but I couldn't find anything at Spotlight to use. I'm going to make another sack and reverse the colours.
