Christmas Through the Year

I did manage to get another Primitive Gatherings stocking completed.
Santa may be my favorite so far.
Mary, over at Quilt Hollow, inspired me to make a cathedral windows pincushion.
You can find the free pattern here at the Moda Bake Shop.

Now go on over to Darlene's and check out what everyone else made.
And thank you Cheryl for posting such great ideas for gifts to make.

Thanks to my friend, Deb, I have a bottle cap pincushion tutorial.
Who knows, I may have one to share next month.

  8. It's funny someone at work yesterday mentioned that it would be the 1st May tomorrow and that Christmas was just around the corner, the year is speeding by - and here this morning on the 1st May, your little Christmas stocking which is just adorable, has popped up to remind us all that Christmas is indeed on the way, albeit a few months off, but nonetheless LOL!!!!
    You did a fine job on the pincushion, such a beautiful design, gorgeous!!!!
