*Julia at Cross Patch in Wales also has this pattern in stock and has some kits for this too.
Block 6 "Stop Here" was great fun to make - this trio of reindeer are just so cute! This pattern is Christmas Fun by Lynette Anderson Designs, and was bought online just after Christmas from Patchwork Chicks here in the UK. This has been made using a selection of festive fabrics from my box of "Lynette" fabrics. Lots of 1.5" squares were pieced together to make the pretty top of this block. I used my favourite Auroifil 50wt thread for the machine piecing, along with a Superior Titanium size 60 needle... ...the embroidery was all stitched by hand, using 2 strands of DMC threads, and the applique completed using my favourite method - applique paper and a glue pen and apliquick rods. There are several turorials on YouTube demonstrating this method of applique. The cute hand painted wooden Christmas tree button shown in the picture above will be hand stitched into place once the quilt has been completed. Only 2 more blocks before these can be pieced together and I can start making the borders!
