2020 Advent Calendar

As my children got older, we wanted to start a new tradition for Christmas. Advent calendars have been a wonderful project. We spend all year making and finding small items for each other, 25 for each person on our list. This year we had my mum with us, so we had an extra one to produce. Here is my swag for this year, from my mum, and my 2 daughters. I was very proud of us as we could find enough even though we couldn't go out shopping

.

 

This table runner was made for me by my mum, who really got into our idea and made us really cute items.

Scrappy Work

With all the sewing, had loads of scraps. I started scrappy quilt projects. Probably a Christmas table runner and a a couple of scrappy quilts.
