UCJC Day 7 - yesterday's progress and X-stitching Xmas 2012 update

I have yet to take a photo of yesterday's UCJC Day 6 project - so I will update this post later today.

But I have started on today's project, which is a secret for an upcoming Love and Friendship Exchange - so there will be no pics of that project until the exchange is received.



I am, however, reposting my Believe series pics as part of X-stitching Xmas 2012 which is being hosted by Lady Kell of Kincavel Crosses.  So, here goes.....

X-Stitching Xmas 2012 - Progress pics, Saturday, January 7th:

 UCJC Day 4 Believe by The Sampler Girl X 3! All in different colourways using Cottage Garden Hand-dyed threads (the same ones I am using for my Mary Wigham sampler - I just love them)
This is a freebie design which can be found here.






These will all be finished as little hanging pillows for Christmas (I have bought the ribbons and such for finishing - just need to find some time to do the finishing now)

Update:  Here are some pics of the pretty ribbons and ricrac which I bought for finishing the Believe series:





Now, here is Day 6 of UCJC 2012 progress pics:




Houses Sampler
The Sampler Company (Brenda Keyes)
20 Count Blue Spruce Linen

Jo from Serendipitous Stitches is having a great Epiphany Giveaway and for one of the 7 items you are giving away you have to prove that you are a quilter.  So, here is some proof of my quilting "prowess":









That's all from me for today, going to the movies with DH to see "The adventures of Tintin" and then to have a bite to eat.

oh, one last thing, don't forget my Day 12 Giveaway, you need to comment on this post if you would like to enter.  It is also listed on my sidebar along with some other great giveaways.
