There are a few days still to finish things off, if they didn't quite make it

Here’s my other Christmas knit: the dinosaur jumper for my 3 year old granddaughter. It was wrapped up until Christmas Day, but managed to get a photo once it was opened.

 This is Realale's contribution to this thread (my quilts don't count Grrrr!!  )  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]  

 I wanted to try out a set of snowman embroideries I bought so I decided to make a pillow case using one of Mother's pillows that are now surplus to requirements.

The embroideries were downloaded from Embroidery Library and I made the pillowcase pattern up as I went along.

The fabric is some silk I have had for ages - too stiff for clothes (even after washing) but not really robust enough for curtains or bags. I'm using it up on small projects like coasters, cushions etc.

I didn't place the snowmen with precision, just eyeballed it, because it was only going to be a useable experiment. I've been using it most of December on the settee when I watch telly - and very comfy it is too!!

And some of the Christmas cards I made.
These were for special people in my life and were embroidered on various fabrics before I put them in bi fold cards. I make about 10 each year, last year they were scrap fabric Christmas trees. The majority this year were the gold baubles on navy fabric, the dancing reindeer and the two named cards were more individual and personalised.

They’re great fun @realale.  Love the baubles, whose design is that?

Alphabet playmat for my 2 great-nieces (7 months and 24 months).

Started:  early November 2021
Finished:  in a COMPLETE PANIC 24 December 2021.

Materials:  remnant panel piece bought for £4.99.  I attached batting and backing (yellow cotton print) and quilted through the layers. I stitched round each letter and each box border. 
Then finished off with my home-made binding and used quilt stitch no 67 on the QE4.2 to attach the binding.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

This was made for my NDN to contain some nice L’Occitane goodies plus a pair of earrings I made.
The fabric is leftovers I had from a brief affair with quilting
The pattern was from a quilting magazine I borrowed from the library
