Nutty

Well, Halloween was a success, for me anyway. I finished binding the last of the sweet little acorn potholders as planned so all eight are ready for the Holly Bazaar.

I backed and bound them with a brown floral and I like the way the little hits of coral pick up the collection of browns used for the acorns.

And I didn't go with the crosshatched quilting that I thought I might. The blocks are so small (6") and I didn't want overkill so I just did one set of diagonal quilting lines, trying to miss the corners so that the stitching lines stayed as true as possible.

When I set out to try this pattern never did I imagine that I'd be making eight of them, but the quilting gods were working in my favour.

There's still the Peppermint Twist toppers to be quilted and bound and I think one more Christmas themed hexie to be made for the Silent Auction. After that it's baking and packaging and then in a week's time I will have my life back....M
