Last blocks of the year

Pin It

Christmas has crept up on me at an alarming rate this week!  It was the last week of term at school and Monday and Tuesday just dragged.  As for the rest of the week, it was over in a blink and despite being very organised I still have a mountain of jobs to do!

Yesterday afternoon I tidied the spare room where I usually sew - the fabric was put in boxes and my machine packed away.  I won't have time for sewing between now and Christmas I expect, so I will indulge in a spot of, more sociable, festive knitting instead.

The Farmer's Wife blocks I want to share today are probably the last two I'll manage before the New Year.  In total I've managed 20 blocks since September which I'm really pleased, if not amazed, about.

Despite posting this picture upside down (flowers and cherries do not grow in the above formation), I like this block (albeit wonky) a lot.  It's a deviation from the festive red I've been drawn to, but it is fresh, pretty and girly.

More red I'm afraid but I do so love these to Lecien prints together!  This one was very quick to cut out and piece - instant gratification!

My parents are coming over to spend the day today so I've a few festive jobs to be getting on with this morning.  The weather is vile outside so I hope the ladies (Mother, Myself and the Big Girl) will indulge in some knitting this after afternoon.  It's what wet, grey days were made for!
