I couldn’t resist starting a new project, so I make
it my WIPW Christmas project.
My fantasy fabric book will be in hibernation
until next year. The first step for my Christmas project was cutting fabric in
different sizes, but always 2 of the same size in matching fabrics. Here they
are ready for the next step.
Then I had to sew 3 sides of the 2 matching
fabrics. Santa was the first one.
This lovely red fabric with holy leaves was the
last one to sew.
Then it was time to stuff them, I’m almost halfway
on this photo.
The last step on the sewing machine was closing the
last side of the patches.
The result of an evening with my sewing machine.
In daylight I made a colour palette to use on these
little patches.
My first finished patch. The edge is whip stitched
with stranded floss, the quilting is done with perle 8. I stitched colonial
knots on the red stars and beads on the green stars.
I keep my patches in a basket with the threads in a
zip lock bag, ready to start stitching.
My project is inspired by Teesha Moore. She has 4
tutorials for this technique:

The result of an evening with your sewing machine... Now I can see the speed of your work and why you always produce so much. I had a look at Teesha Moore's tutorials and the projects looks fun. I am looking forward to seeing YOUR result.
