Merry Christmas, finished quilt, some snow

Dear everyone, merry Christmas!! I am in Ottawa with the fam. It's always a bit strange being home, because it's at once extremely normal, since this is family and we've been this way forever, but also completely not normal, since my regular life is far away in a very different (and wonderful) place.

Daniel's quilt is DONE (I finished it just in time to give it to him), and I'm overall pleased. My dear sister was kind enough to take some actual photos of it so you can see the colours (when I took it out of my suitcase she was kind of surprised that it was so bright).

We have also included some snow in the picture, for your entertainment. Man I'm glad I live somewhere that doesn't have weather like this (also where I don't have to drive).

What to work on next??

The quilt is shrinking

So many tiny pieces means the quilt is shrinking A LOT as I sew... I might add a border to it, if I have time, or... maybe not.

I saw these tiles in my friend's apartment building, I really like this:

I'm going to start sewing this tomorrow

Quilt update + advent video

Ok, it's Advent everybody! This is one of my favourite times of year: waiting for Christmas. Anticipation. But waiting. Check out this Advent challenge from Shane Claiborne and those ordinary radicals.



Also, I've just realized that I am going to Ottawa TWO WEEKS FROM TODAY, which means I gotta hustle when it comes to finishing this quilt (if I want to give it to my nephew for Christmas). It's very colourful...



Sorry for terrible quality pic, I seem to have misplaced my digital camera...
