Its been since September that I posted. Time sure flies when you are busy busy busy.
Today I completed a 2009 BOM by Gail Pan. I have had the embroideries completed since 2009, but never got around to making the wall hanging. My granddaughter, Tess, is putting together an art showing at our church where members can display their art that depicts the true meaning of Christmas. She did this last year for the first time and it was much appreciated by the congregation. She asked if I had something to enter, and really all I had was a Nativity scene that I made and it has hung over my mantle for many Christmases. She wanted to use it again, and I agreed, but I also wanted something new. I remembered these blocks made so many years ago, and decided to finish up the wall hanging. I worked all day yesterday making the wall hanging and hemmed it this morning.
I did have to change one block, that said "Magic" which she did felt was inappropriate for the spiritual aspect of the art show, and suggested I use the word Faith. So I also had to make a new block for Faith, and was so pleased that I still had the background fabric and the matching embroidery thread in my stash. Haha...I have had it for 15 years now, and probably much longer than that. Sound familiar?

What a lovely way to share the creative side of Christmas - with a display at church. I'm glad you could motivate yourself to finish a UFO, even to remaking one of the blocks, and have something new to show. You're so good!
