Yes Yes Yes I won on my FIRST blog hop!
So excited to be receiving a package from Jill at jillily studio via Mdm Samm at sewwequilt. Will post a picture as soon as I receive it! Thank you to everyone for the lovely comments, it makes creating so worthwhile, I will reply to you all eventually!
Here is my contribution to the Holiday Lane blog hop organised and hosted by Madame Samm at sewwequilt.com and Pauline at quiltnqueen.blogspot.ca
The pattern for Holiday Lane was designed by Jill at http://www.jillilystudio.com/ Thank you for letting us all use the pattern Jill.
My pillow has morphed into a picture, I have been looking for a street scene to make for my Christmas mantle for some time but couldn't seem to find one that I liked, this pattern from Jill fitted the spot perfectly.
The stitching is finished, hubby will be framing it soon (I hope) Once I got started I could of kept adding and adding to the village but I have Christmas presents to make so this it it... I hope you like it!
Mdm Samm, Jillily, QuiltNQueen and myself all live on Holiday Lane!
I am not too pleased with the pictures, the daylight had gone by the time I was ready to take them!
ALL of the projects have turned out great, I had fun visiting everyones blog and seeing all the different combinations of fabrics and peoples ideas
