UFO Tumbling Santas
Here is a lovely applique piece, that I really wished i had finished by now. I have taken it out of christmas quilt pattern to do as a wall hanging. After a bit of umming and arring, I have finally decided on the borders, and that is what I have left to do. The final border is going to be made up of green 2" blocks in various christmas patterns. I have started cutting and sewing them together.
I am not too nervous about quilting this one as I think it will be straight forward in ditch.

Sleepy Angel - without wings
I did another class and I am very proud to say I have finished it (it required a bit of handsewing once home to get it completed).
It is my first 'doll' and I love it (and hubby likes this one!). Most of the fabric came from my stash (always a good thing), all I needed to buy was stuffing (got a polyester filled cushion and used the filling as it was cheaper then buying filling) and wool for the hair.
it was a great class, and took all the mystery out of making dolls. I have had my eye on a few patterns in magazines of dolls that I want to make, and now that I understand the basic process, I am going to give them a go. I didn't learn too many tricks, but I have worked out from a few things that I didn't do, what I could do to make it easier.
The only thing I have missed are the wings. I made them, but hubby and I decided that it looked better without, so I didn't attach them. However, I make another and use them for that.
a closer picture of the face. The hat is supposed to be 'flopped' to the other side and tucked under the other arm, but I liked it this way, and I added a star button to the end of it (easier than adding a pom pom!).
