Well, the lucky winner is.... Vivian, January 19, 2010 at 11:11 pm. Please email me to let me know your address and I will get the patterns off to you. For everyone else, the patterns should be available in Patchwork stores now. If anyone is interested in joining a block of the month program for Advent Angels you can sign up here or here.

As you know, I have been sunning myself at the beach for the last little while. What a treat! I think it was the first time I truly relaxed in ages. I didn't want to come home and start "real life" again but here I am. I thought you might like to see some "textures" from my holiday....

Inspiring huh?

Advent Angels Giveaway!

I know I said I wouldn't be back till the 23rd, but what can I say.... I missed you all too much! I have been stitching 'til my fingers bleed (literally) and I have finished the Advent calendar wall Quilt - "Advent Angels". It is really lovely and I have had several little family friends begging their Mum to make them one already- lol! (sorry Leanne and Melly). Here is the photo of the finished quilt top.

Of course, it still needs to be quilted and bound. I think I will bind it with red and white striped fabric to match the candy canes which will go in the pockets. All the little Angels are doing chores getting ready for Christmas. These little Angels are trimming the tree and feeding the birds.

These ones are wrapping and transporting the presents.

These little boy angels are feeding the reindeer and getting them ready for Santa.

 

Untangling the christmas lights and sewing the teddy bears. 

Watering the Christmas garden (southern hemisphere) and decorating gingerbread.

This little Angel is helping a dolly who got stuck on top of the gingerbread house.

And finally, this little Angel has an urgent message for Santa.

Wait 'til I show you the quilted version with all the pockets full of treats! This seven-part block of the month is available tomorrow and should be making its way to all good quilt stores in the next few days and weeks. To celebrate, I have the promised giveaway. Leave a comment to go into the draw where one lucky reader will win the complete pattern set. I will draw the winner on the 23rd of January when I return to blogging after some much needed beach time.

Enjoy your creation!
