Grace (from Little Handfuls of Scraps by Edyta Sitar)

I had the easy project for the December sewing session with Stacia and Deloise. Having said that, by the end of the day Deloise was pretty much done and Stacia was very close to being finished.

I feel like I’m learning about colours for projects. I generally want to go scrappy but I’ve learned that organized scrappy often is better. In this case it was scraps of blue and neutrals that I used.

I can assure you that I checked and double-checked the pattern. Those long blue lines are not supposed to meet!

Pattern from Amy Ball for polkadotchair.com

Traditionally this package has contained chocolates in honour of it also being Dave’s birthday. I switched it up a little this year and, again, the tag is in the parcel.

Although my quilted tree isn’t quite as intricate as indicated in the pattern I had fun with them.

Happy Birthday Dave

Patchwork Presents from The Polka Dot Chair

Does this look familiar? It’s the same pattern as I used before but the presents are wrapped differently. Due to the postal strike Dave is unlikely to get his “real” present in time for his birthday.
