Ahh with Hannah & Harrington of course. I finished stitching the remaining blocks & yesterday i put them together & added to the top of the quilt. I then frantically checked all my fabric for borders hoping i could use stash fabric & not have to go buy any. Couldn't find enough of the black at first & decided to try one last place & found a large piece of black homespun I'd bought for some other project that never got made. So a happy dance was in order for that find. :)
Wednesday i got out another felt kit & prepped it. I think i bought it back in 2012
My next Christmas BOM arrive that day so i ironed it onto my background fabric ready to stitch
I managed some that night.
On Wednesday i also finished Boo Cat off
& put border on this little hanging which i then hand quilted. I added the binding yesterday.
Yesterday also saw this little project put together & the hand quilting started last night
And finally some happy mail arrived all the way from the US. The doll quilt from the swap has finally arrived & there may have been some excited yelling involved especially when i found chocolate at the bottom of the box. :) :)
The lady who made it stalked me well. Also included were these extras.
Happy Stitching,

Oh how I love the Harrington and Hannah - someday I will get mine made!!! You always work on the prettiest things, Jeanette. Good of your swap partner to give you such nice gifts!!!
lots of lovely projects.. I love your H & H and the black border is perfect -like a frame. I also have UFO's and 'waiting to be quilted' versions of projects... it feels a top is a kindof finish doesn't it. YOu have a great variety of wonderful projects to play with...
