The Twelve Fridays of Christmas

At Piece Quiltery in Easton, PA is running this class most Fridays up until Christmas. A group of us get together every week with an instructor there for help when we need it.  It's a fun morning of sewing and chatting over a cup of tea and a doughnut (or two)!

So, Block 1 was the Tree...

It was pretty easy going using the Diagonal Sewing Technique.  Such a neat and clean looking block!

Block 2 - the Angel

A little trickier than the week before.  The head, complete with hair and halo, had to be sewn in several pieces including the white background for that section. After it was sewn, it had to be squared up remembering to not chop the halo but the chin. A very cute angel indeed!

  The third week we tackled the candle.  A little work, but well worth it, right down to the flame. The fabric for the candle itself is a cherry red but with many thin gold and black vertical lines.

I think this Friday we'll be working on the Wreath. Anyway, we're not working in the order of the book. Maybe there's a method to their madness, maybe not.
