More Christmas Treasures

Perhaps you would like to see some small Christmas quilts I have hanging on the wall?  Because I have limited wall space here, I need to alternate them each year.  But one which always comes out each Christmas is this little darling made for me by my daughter, Nicky.  She is not a quilter, this is the one and only wall hanging she has made, so it is really precious.  Done in a class, I believe, many years ago, before she was married, but not dated, we didn’t think about that way back then.  Nicky is very talented and has tried wood work, metal work, stained glass, all manner of things over the years.  Sewing and smocking when her daughters were young, but I don't think she ever mastered knitting.

Another lovely little wall hanging is this Robin Redbreast and Christmas Trees, sent to me from England by my pen friend Rose in 2002.   We were lucky enough to catch up with Rose and Bill at their home in Hythe, Southampton when we holidayed in the UK some years ago.  Sadly, at 90, Rose is slowing down and no longer sews, but she still keeps busy knitting for charity.

And lastly I have my Selvedge Christmas Tree hanging up, made with Christmas selvedges, of course, and finished with green ric-rac.  This was my own design, and was made in 2010.

And look what arrived in the post from Glennis, in UK.  I have seen cards saying they are sent from wherever, but never one like this, sending Christmas Wishes to New Zealand.  I think Santa and his reindeer are walking from one of our lovely summery beaches across white sand!
