This is a quilt started maybe at least 4 or 5 years ago with Michelle, Helen and Nicole. We were all going to have it finished by the following Christmas. Michelle is the only one who has. It is from a book by Lynette Anderson called "A Christmas Wish".

I LOVE the penguins and the plum pudding!

I decided to pull it out as I needed a change from hand applique. I have been working on Rosebud and thought I would have had the borders finished by now, but it has been taking quite a bit of time.
I have finished all the blanket stitch on the 3 blocks joined together and now have to stitch the 3 separate blocks above - they are, of course, the ones with the most work to do. Once it's all blanket stitched (by my machine) and sewn together, there is a little bit of stitchery to add.
Maybe it might be finished by this Christmas???

Hi Sue-Anne
A friend of mine bought the book last year just for the penguins! She made an apron I think.
The blocks you've done look great. Good luck with the rest of them.
I think the beauty of taking on these projects with friends is that you say "we'll finish this for Christmas", but no-one ever really specifies which one!!! Stay away from committing to an actual year, I say :)
Regards, Sue
Your blocks are gorgeous Sue-Anne....can't wait to see it finished!
Hi Sue-Anne,
I have seen that quilt made up before and it is gorgeous and fun. I too have a christmas quilt started as a group project and yes, my friends have all finished theirs except me. I did take it out of its hidey hole and hung it up unfinished last christmas (in the spare bedroom) and sadly put it back again. Ah well!!

How cute! I love them all and I hope you will get it finish for next Christmas - Hugs Nat
It's lovely! And 5 years is a mere nothing in quilt-time. 8)
Happy stitching,
Susan
Well Done Sue-Anne
I was feeling a bit lonely there for a while - ha ha. Just need to get mine quilted now - best I hurry up or you will beat me. Looks fantastic.
Love Michelle
I love the reindeer, they're adorable. You can see the finish line on this one. Good luck.
That is the cutest thing. I love it.
