DESIGN WALL MONDAY

My hexie Christmas project is growing in leaps and bounds.  It is almost too big to lay out on my living-room carpet to photograph!  I have three more diamond shapes to fill in around the edges, then I'll start to change the shape to more of a rectangle.  If I don't finish it before heading south, I'll have to cut enough pieces of Christmas fabric to take with me - don't want to buy more unless it has an immediate project ready to sew.......
I also finished this Advent calendar for my future DIL this week.  I had fun stitching with some rayon and mylar threads for a bit of shine.
I made her a Christmas apron, and while cleaning out the closet, found one in fall colours, as well as one I had made for my son many years ago, with his favourite "Animaniacs" cartoon characters.

Head over to Judy's blog to see what lovelies everyone is working on this week.
