It's finished, all that's left to do is choose one of Barb's, Theodora Cleave, button/s and sew it on.
When I started I had planned to use the Santa/Reindeer, but then I made the mistake of looking in the box of buttons. Now I have too many choices!
Which one do you like best?
The tag is from the pattern, Christmas -A Time for Giving

It's been so hectic I'm not sure which decoration number I'm up to. If you know please tell me!
Last week choosing a project was easy, it had to be quick. This week with a little more time up my sleeve, though not by much, I had trouble deciding what to make. In the end I opted to stitch part of a design from Festive Stitches.
I am rather partial to birds and love the look of cream stitches on red fabric.
It was prepped last night and stitched today and didn't take as long as I thought it would.The spot ribbon is a favourite and the key completes it.
Kerry has finished her Festive Stitches wall quilt and has another two on the go, one in blues. I've seen snippets and can't wait to see it finished.
I love the way Kerry has included Barb's deer button on Santa's Letterbox block. It's a perfect match.
Enjoy your weekend!

With only an hour to spare, this week's decoration had to be simple and quick. Then I remembered the little gifts.
These are so much fun to make. The key is not to be too fussy about the sewing and focus on the decorating.
The pattern is called Simply Gifts.

Can you believe I almost forgot to make this week's decoration? My focus has been on next year's club - Happiness is..... I have to have three of the projects made before Quilt Market next week. One's done, the second almost and the third is still floating around in my head.
Last night I wasn't really up for any Christmas stitching but I'm determined not to fail. I picked something that didn't need too much thought and could be done in relative short time; the Tree Decoration from All Things Christmas.
It's a nice size to tie to presents and can be easily personalised.
NEW Make Merry patterns
The two new Make Merry patterns, Home and Sleigh are now available from my online store.
The patterns are $6.00 each plus P&H.
Kits will be available after Quilt Market, unless I find some spare time.
