My UFO for December is That Fairy Tale Quilt. I bought the pattern in 2018 when I was at Quilt Canada and I started it on a sewing week in 2019 with Stacia and Deloise. Although I knew I had made a mistake in putting Red Riding Hood together I thought I could live with her being so far away from the house.

But when it came up as the last of my UFO projects for the year I decided I needed to fix it. Although the fix was more challenging than I thought it would be I’m happier with the results. It still isn’t exactly like the pattern but, as we say in the Guild when we make a mistake, “the pattern is just a guideline”.

I set up the tree this afternoon and I have it decorated. I set out a few of our decorations and I’ll get out the Christmas linens this afternoon. I will still have a few more boxes to empty before I’m done but it is looking a bit festive.

I was too tired to embroider or knit last night; I just sat in my rocking chair and rocked while we watched a movie. Hopefully tonight I’ll be more productive.
