This December Tree Trimming Basket block is part of my Wooly Basket Calendar Quilt. The pattern is from the Starry Pines Pattern Company: http://starrypinespatterncompany.com/spindex2.html
I used wool for the hand-appliqued basket, cotton flannel for the background fabric, and black perle cotton for the embroidery.
Merry Christmas
I saw on the
snow
when I tried
my skis
the track of a
mouse
beside some
trees.
Before he
tunneled
to reach his
house
he wrote
“Merry Christmas”
in white, in
mouse.

Christmas
My goodness, my goodness,
It’s Christmas again
The bells are all ringing.
I do not know when
I’ve been so excited.
The tree is all fixed,
The candles are lighted,
The pudding is mixed.
The wreath’s on the door
And the carols are sung,
The presents are wrapped
And the holly is hung.
The turkey is sitting
All safe in its pan,
And I am behaving
As calm as I can.

What a great block. I might be prejudiced since it is applique but that's ok. :)
ReplyDeleteThe baskets are perfect. Did you do those one month at a time like your birds?
ReplyDeleteI like a calendar hanging because it works the whole year through. We wouldn't have much luck with wool.\, though, because Japan is moth heaven.
How cute is that!
