December furtle

Goodness I dont know where to start! In many ways its been my usual December a frenzy of finishes! I simply hate carrying a project over to the new year if I can help it (Blossom Jane is an exception!) I like nice neat finishes.
So first up, and this is in no particular order! First is the wheel of the year from stitch doodles, I did enjoy this
Up next is the Celtic wheel of the year from Carina Craft Blog, now this one I adored making I do love Carinas patterns. This will go on the wall!
Yes my top nine, I didnt share on instagram as I saw a fair bit of snark about top nines, but I still wanted to make mine just to see, I am happy with it, it pretty well sums up the year 😊
Aww cute wee dorset button, I do love making these, very satisfying and a nice reminder of the FOQ this year where I bought it

And yes this is a christmas movie 😂 and its the only christmas movie I could get scoobs to watch, so very happy to make do with this one!
Oh my Alan Rickman, surely the best screen baddie?
Aww Alexander Gudonov, a real teenage heart throb of mine!
Well this is very apt for a furtle post! I found these while furtling around in my button box, memories and momentos of the stitch gathering of 2017. I adored the stitch gatherings, so many friendships and happy memories made there
I am sloooooowly getting sucked back into Christmas but I am still standing strong with the "no presents" line, well mostly strong! I made these cute pin cushions for chums, lovely pattern by Arabesque Scissors
Oh and we finished another big cat! 4 down 5 to go! This is the tiger and I do love him rather a lot
Here he is with chums
I thought this was going to be the last quilt of the year, but no .... there is another to come! this is the sunny patches BOM from Coriander Quilts, I loved making this esepcially with the really bold setting
My lovely chum Jo brought back these cute labels from holiday, now I never really think about labelling the quilts I keep for myself but I should, I labelled 3 of my liberty quilts and have thoughts about making more labels so I can label everything else.
Aww and this came through! I love this email. For about 14 years now this lovely man has been passing on emails to me, His name is Samuel and he has almost the same email address as me, so if someone mis types my email he gets it. He passes them all on, always with a sweet message they always brighten my day


I found an ideal xmas card for scoobs 😂 I had already bought him one but this year he gets 2! because he is that special 💗
 

Last but definitely not least! My final quilt for 2023 😊, this was very last minute when I decided to make all the 6 inch blocks as well 🤣 but im glad I did and I love the finished quilt, so here it is in my very wintery house 🤣
So! Many many thanks to Archie The Wonderdog for hosting these furtles I do enjoy them so much 😊 have a lovely hogmanay ❤️

  2. What a fantastic final Furtle for 2023! This embroideries are gorgeous, particularly the Celtic wheel. And snark be damned, post your top nine on Instagram, it’s your grid, put what the hell you like on there! The floral big cats are amazing, I’m looking forward to seeing the next one. Two gorgeous finishes, and yes, label all the quilts you make! And thank you for being such a staunch furtler, I really appreciate your support throughout the year. Hooray for finishes and the fettling of them *waves pompoms* Thanks for furtling!
