12 Days of Christmas

               Well I seem to be on a roll finishing projects at the moment. I finished the binding on this wall hanging, designed by Anni Downs from Hatched and Patched, this afternoon. I enjoyed it but I would have tackled it differently and if anyone is going to do it, I would recommend starting at the bottom at 12 drums a drumming. That way by the time your coming past the half way done mark, it isnt as daunting doing 5 rings, 4 calling birds etc as it is 9 dancers dancing, 10 lords a leaping etc.
              Hope you like the pictures,

Its so long its difficult to get close enough






                Now I will pack it away until December....

  1. I admire your stamina in completing this. I have often looked at it but stopped myself because it involved so much work. I love your idea of starting at the hardest part. Makes a lot of sense.
    Love your wall hanging. It will look great at Christmas.
