Hello Quilty Friends!
I'm happy to have you back for what is the last post for 2025.
We all say how quickly the year has gone, but where did it go?
Was it a good one for you? I think mine was, or atleast parts were,
the rest can go wherever the odd socks go!
As I'm writing this I have just finished that last quilt for the year. I didn't want any customer quilts hanging out over the holidays. I can start 2026 with a clean slate.
Lets dive in for a closer look.................

Thank you Juliet, Marcelle & Patricia for letting me loose on your beautiful creations!
We are very fortunate & grateful to have a regular visitor to our garden,
sometimes there's a pair.
New Zealand Native wood pigeon - Kereru.
They are big graceful birds that feed on the Kawakawa seeds.
I absolutely adore watching them.

Thank you so stopping by to read or just scroll through my work. Thank you to my loyal customers who keep sending me their quilt tops to be finished & thank you to those who have purchased a quilted goodie from my shop (https://felt.co.nz/shop/quiltmekiwi ) it really means the world to me!
Wishing you all a happy & safe holiday season.
Leeanne.














Oh I see you've gone to your extra effort with the tree this year Leeanne (!!) ππor was that your husbands effort??
ReplyDeleteWorking backwards to the top - another wonderful line up. I think I spy some Tilda in that cushion - be still my beating heart!!! I know you've done quite a lot of quilting for Tartan Kiwi as I've seen her designs here before - I think that backing fabric is so cute!! Have a well earned rest my friend xx
Beautiful ❤️ Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada π ❤️ π¨π¦
ReplyDeleteAlways a treat to see what you've been up to! The otters are a hoot--and so are the "Christmas efforts". I just barely trimmed my tree on Monday. That is probably the latest I have ever done it.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great holiday!
