The top for the Winter Swap is finished. I chose Trip around the world as the quilt will have to travel a long way before reaching THE RECIPIENT!
I have started hand-quilting it and so far I like it so much, I will probably make it once more for me to keep. The colours reflect my feeling in winter, a bit melancolic, the days are short, the sun rare but there are still nice days (hence the yellow) and the warmth of my home (the red).I finished stitching this funny stitchery too and today I went to my LQS to get some red fabric to frame it. I wanted to have it finished before Christmas!
At the LQS, I bought some nice stuff for my Mum (sorry no picture there, it is for Christmas!) and I met a reader of my blog who I didn´t know. It was very nice to get some feed-back and encourages me to post on.My parents are coming over to spend next week with us and so I don´t think I will have much time to post next week and that´s why I wish you all now
A MERRY CHRISTMAS

Mmmm - the quilts that must be made twice so we can keep one are always the best. Can't wait to see where this beauty will land . . . maybe at my door *s*

Your winter quilt is adorable and I love the symbolism. Your stitchery is wonderful as well -- please show a photo of it with the borders if you get the chance! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and that your New Year brings joy and love!
