Christmas Quiltalong update *snowman has nose and arms*

I couldn't get on the computer at 11:30pm when I stopped. I finished the checker board top. I will complete it today and a snowman. He needs arms and a nose.  I will get outside and pick up some twigs for them. I plan to cook the nose....  polymer clay stuff.




Isn't he the cutest!  *giggle*
I do need to get the pellets for the base. The rice I used just is not heavy enough. It works but not like I want it to sit.

I did fan out my gathering from the fabric sale. Here it is......



A lot got into that plastic bag. Here it is in a pile...



and the notions......


I found rick rack for the gingerbread house, anything new or packaged I grabbed, thread, pin case, templates, bag of cut out squares, part of a pattern cut out and the pattern: just stuff.

So there you have it. I still need to cut out for the snowman wallhanging.....
See you next month Sue and gang.
