Sort of Eye Spy, made out of Noodles.

    Wahoo! I have finished my raffle quilt for the hospital, well before Christmas and I even washed it, to make sure it did not shrink and I would not get it back. How embarrasment would that be?
    It is very basic just 4 1/2 squares plus 12 embroidered panels with Santa's Village (designs from Ju Ju Designs) in colourwork. I really love them, from the top there is Egg Nog Hotel, Cookies and Cream, Bear Shop, Post Office, Hot Cocoa, Railway Station, Ice Cream shop, Santa's Castle, Pie Shop, Toy Shop, Elf School and the Barbers shop where Santa is having his hair cut. There are 52 different fabric each used 4 times. I hand quilted it diagonally with Pearl 6 Crochet cotton in variegated green, and in the 12 embroidered squares quilted 1/4 in from the edge of each in maroon. Look closely you will see your fabrics, I love that there were some blue ones and bound the quilt in blue fabric with little christmas trees.
