Plus a beautiful angel.

`Heart and Bloom` mini quilt.

My Christmas gift for our Grand-daughters dolls cot.

 This was from Natalie Birds book `Red Home` page 36.

Finally complete `Girls Christmas Party Quilt` a Bronwyn Hayes pattern from Homespun # 32  Vol 6 # 6. 

She had Santa blocks in the corners which I changed to Angels.

 They where out of one of her books but I made them smaller to fit. 

 Now to find the backilng fabric ready to quilt.

I have placed stitcheries so I can use this for a table cloth or hang it. 

Well that is it for me today.

Happy Stitching,

Clare.
