The Final Arch - and other stuff

Amazingly enough, I did have a little time to work today, between the morning school run and being back at school for lunchtime (then off to grocery shop after lunch, so nothing accomplished there, unless a coffee in Starbucks counts as an accomplishment, lol). Anyway, first order of business was this arch - the December one, and indeed The Last Arch. I've really enjoyed this swap - the arches have been great, both to make and to receive. If you want a quick reminder of some of them - I think a few of the received ones haven't made it onto the blog for whatever reason - click here. I should say that this arch is for Arlee, and yes, it IS somewhat intimidating to make something for someone who does such fabulous work.

I also made a Christmas themed ATC for our secret sister ATC swap on Textile Challenges - not very exciting, but I was pleased with the row of lights across the bottom. Forgot I had those embellishments!

And finally, a new block for my advent calendar - I mentioned earlier that I thought I'd do a Christmas cracker block - and lo! here it is. Yep, spent an hour this evening (perhaps not even that) making it and it's come out well if I do say so myself, except that I realised I bordered it with the wrong green fabric, so will have to take that off and redo it - luckily, I realised that before I quilted it! Anyway, I'll take the paper off the back tonight, and hopefully finish it up on the weekend - tomorrow is too much to hope for.
