Boxing day....

.
........... The traditional day in England (as in the Victorians) to give gifts (gift boxes).  Here are two quilted pictures that H made for her two Grandmas....
All foundation pieced and quilted in the ditch around the teapots and cups.

With the mock piped binding - which H loved as she hates hand sewing bindings!
This is a block that I made for the Calder Quilters block swap - but I arrived too late and couldn't enter it... but hey I get to use it in a quilt for me now!  I found the pattern on the internet - there are other patterns, but I like this one.  Here's the link to the free pattern....
