So we are 4 days into advent and although I thought  I was organised I am deep in stitching my Xmas presents and challenge pieces for the three stitching groups to which I belong.

Each group has a system where instead of making presents for everyone, which I still sometimes do, you go into a draw and just make one present.  That is still 3 items to be completed and there are those other presents to do as well.

For my cottage quilting group the challenge was to use spots, stripes and I think checks.  The person who's name we pulled out of the hat was to tell us what they wanted.  My person said "just make anything you would like".  (Very helpful!!). As I bought a bundle of diaries for 2025 I decided on a book cover.   (There are 6 or 7 under construction.)

I did have a false start because I forgot to look at list of favourite fabrics each person liked.  I started with brights when in fact she likes pastels.  (The bright one will be for someone else.)

I was going to embroider her name on the cover but decided to stitch a small portrait instead. 

I like this book cover and if she doesn't like it the printed cover of the dairy is very pretty anyway.

Back to work.
