In two weeks I will take the plane to Hong Kong.
I will stay in Hong Kong for 1 1/2 week and after my vacation I will travel around for a few days in germany.
Sadly I will miss the first 3 weekends before christmas. I will miss the first 12 days of chocolate from my advents calender and lighting the candle on the "adventskranz every sunday before christmas.
I won't be able to decorate the apartment and enjoy all the christmas lights in my home.
To take a little bit of the christmas feeling with my on vacation I made a christmas pillow cover for the long flight.
I wish there would be enough time for a matching quilt but I'm happy to have something christmas related around while travel.
I used some of my red and white christmas fabrics to make wonky stars. I quilted by hand around every wonky star with embroidery thread.
I used some of my fave japanese christmas fabric for the back of the pillow cover. Sadly I made a mistake with the measurements so pillow foam always shows :(
I loved making the wonky stars and they are fun easy. I will definetly will make more of them. Maybe a complete quilt made from wonky stars ?!
Its lovely! And will make you smile through the whole trip! I was in Hong Kong a couple years ago and L-O-V-E-D it! Have a great time!
ReplyDeleteadorable~ you remind me I should really make some quilted christmas goodness. We'll be at home this year (New York)-- I stopped traveling for Christmas 3 years ago, it just got too hectic and I wasn't enjoying the season. But I hope you have a wonderful trip this year, with your pillow to keep you cozy and in a holiday mood.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. You are helping to wake up my Christmas spirit. I bet your family is going to love it.
