...if you're the kind of person who can't bear the mention of Christmas this early on in the year! I'd totally understand that. Even as an avid Christmas lover I tried to ignore it all and restrain myself until December but this project just couldn't wait that long (I'm not even certain it will be finished in time for this Christmas to be honest! :) )
So here's what I've been up to this week. The painstaking cutting of 435 squares and rectangles for a Christmas patchwork quilt. I am far too excited about this. I was like a small child on Christmas Eve whilst shopping for the fabric. Literally bouncing up and down. I'm fairly certain my boyfriend was a little embarrassed at my over enthusiasm. And the lady cutting the fabric was definitely laughing at me. But in a kind way. At least I like to think so! :)
Just imagine it. Curled up on Christmas Eve under a snuggly Christmas quilt, wrapping presents by fairy light with Bing Crosby playing in the background or the Muppet's Christmas carol on TV. The smell of apple strudel wafting from the oven and a glass of mulled wine nearby. That just sums up my perfect evening and the christmas quilt is absolutely integral to the scene. I need to get my skates on. There's no way I can wait for next year to play that scene out! :)
