I have been wanting to make an Advent Calendar for some time.  I found a great tutorial way back in July, ordered some fabric, then procrastinated.  Last week with the 1st December looming I made a start, and finished it last night just in time for Advent.

It’s a small quilt with pockets sewn in.  The fabrics are from a line called “Have a Sheri Berry Holiday”.  I used two charm packs and some yardage.

There are little pockets in the top corners on the back for a hanging rod to slip into.  I machine stitched the binding down since I figure that no-one is going to see the back.

The sashing is free motion quilted.  I still need to get better at doing this.  I reckon that I quilted it to within an inch of its life – the quilting lines could have been much further apart.  Machine applique also isn’t my forte. Anyway, the girls love it!
