Gudrun Erla of G.E. Designs has invited eleven very cool ladies to have some fun blog-hopping around the country starting today.
Each will post every day sharing favourite Christmas recipes, traditions and stories.
And each day, one of them will share a Christmas/Holiday project with you. Twelve days… twelve free projects. WOW!
There will be prizes!!!
Start your hopping here:
Fun, fun, fun … for everyone!!
For day 1, Gudrun has posted this adorable quilt-as-you-go Sweet Trimmings Christmas tree wall hanging. It’s super cute and very quick to complete as you quilt it at the same as you put the top together. I definitely need to make one of these for myself. Maybe add a few buttons to serve as ornaments too.

I was lucky enough to spend Halloween with my nieces this year. Lucy was the prettiest princess and Alice a very cute Jaguar. It was a windy night, cold and a few sprinkles of rain, but thankfully no snow! Lucy had a fabulous time and made sure to ask everyone for candy for her baby sister Alice too.
