Reason For The Season

Here's one of our two CoverStory pieces, which should have arrived with Kirsten by now, I draped it over a box before I posted it, it gives you an idea of how far we are progressing [although the vertical  lines have got a bit distorted]  My December piece is on the left, made with Christmas prints - one mixed strip, top to bottom, and two thinner red strips filling in the gaps around my "Orange Vintage Ads"  panel

Initially I had thought to make my December strip very sparkly, but Kirsten's blue November piece is like that. I determined instead to use up some of my scraps of Xmas prints [trimmings from the tissue holders in my shop] I was going to use the "strip and flip" technique. But I got a little carried away and incorporated triangles and narrower strips into my design, exposing sections of the red foundation fabric.

If you look at it carefully, you may be able to read a very special Christmas word, reminding us that we're celebrating God With Us
