Another Christmas Quilt

The Festive Season brings so much joy and happiness that we wan't to share around. My kids absolutely love Christmas time (like all children). I like the idea of handmade and useful items around the home with a Christmas theme. Other than my 'tis the season quilt I'm planning on having this gorgeous quilt done by Christmas - I started it about two mths before last Christmas.......ah well.

Here is a picture of the original by Rosalie Quinlan. I was looking for an advent quilt as I was sure SOMEONE would have designed one and came across this which I love. My intention is to put little candy canes/lollies or notes to my little ones in the pockets........


Here is some of my progress



I need to add the little pockets with the stitched advent numbers.



I love Rosalie's work. I'm also doing her Dollie's quilt but will post on that another time......



Happy Stitching everyone...........
Susie

Lovely stitchery and the quilt is going to be so pretty... Rosalie is certainly very talented... where would we be without our designers?
