Welcome to MAKING CHRISTMAS, 2013, WEEK 9.

Thank you, again, to everyone who is joining in and linking up with Making Christmas. Un-thank you to Mr Internet Connection who doesn’t want me to blog today! The good news is that it’s only just over two weeks until Christmas. The bad news is that’s only 17 sewing days! Is anyone else starting to panic about finishing up their list? Going by the Pinterest board, everyone is making wonderful progress with their makes but I think I’m going to have to start prioritizing ruthlessly and save some of the projects on my wishlist for next year. Here are a couple of things that caught my eye this week. Clicking on the pictures will take you to the right blog post:

This week MAKING CHRISTMAS is being hosted by the lovely LUCY from Charm About You. I’m sure you must know Lucy already. She makes beautiful quilts and she usually has lovely stitching projects on the go too and her posts are always fun. Today Lucy has a some gorgeous patterns to share, which I’m sure you’ll want to stitch :) Whilst you’re there, as usual, don’t forget to link up with your updated lists and your makes. Every time you link up you’ll get another entry for the randomly drawn prize and I’m only pinning to the Pinterest board from posts that have linked up :)

I don’t have any finishes this week. I have some commissions – two pairs of mittens and a jewellery roll and I’ve started a quick quilt top to free up some fabric for cushion covers but I’ve been taking one glove forward and two gloves backwards. More haste, less speed perhaps…
