Give & Take November

 I told you the days were shorter! Here we are, 1st December and I haven't even bought the sweets for my advent calendar, let alone unearthed it from the loft!!
Dropping off to sleep last night I suddenly remembered it was Fresh Sewing Day too, today! So, a quick mosaic made while munching my brekkie.
November was a month of giving and receiving, good practice for Christmas.
In November, ladies in my classes made blocks which were made into a quilt top for a Hurricane Sandy Appeal.
I got a couple of blocks made for Judith's Bee Blessed.
I sent off my journal cover to Tanya, my secret partner in a Scrappy Swap. And I received a lovely new mug rug with a matching mini quilt - yippee.
I made a pocket pillowcase as a birthday gift for a toddler.
And I made a mini hamper ready to send off to my Bee partner in the Secret Santa Swap!!
Linking to Lynne's Fresh Sewing Day.
Have a great December - keep calm and uncork a bottle..................

  6. Yes the great winter darkness is upon us too. I am off to find the advent calendar today, thank you for the reminder. You had a month with some lovely makes, I especially love that mariner's compass.

  7. Yes the friend in the pocket pillow case looks very chuffed. The days are growing hotter here in Oz so untwist ing beer to watch the cricket is our take on the sentiment. Well done England for defeating the All Blacks in the rugby overnight!
