Some More Christmas stuff

I have no idea where I bought this fabric but I do know it was a long time ago and I still like it.  The pattern for the hexies came from an Australian blog...clever ladies,those Aussies....and I gave it a go. It was fun to fussy cut the birds and make the hexies but then I didn't quite know what to do with them, so I use them for coasters .

 I see that I needed to practise my blanket stitch (machine) some as well. Ah well, perfection was never my forte.

 Now I do remember where I got this fabric...it was V & S Stedmans in St. George many moons ago.  One of the reasons we were inclined to move to Sussex...needed some place to buy socks without travelling  a fair distance and all the Stedmans stores are gone from the province..too bad, I liked those stores.

I forgot to post this fella when he was all finished. It's a pattern not original by any means.  I kind of like him though...I hung it beside a window...a bit of whimsy.  Right there beside a couple of redwork patterns as well.  Always have a bit of embroidery somewhere...second to quilting in my list of favourite past times.
