The theme was to make a christmas ornament and as the group is a quilting group I decided to make a pieced Rudolph. I had a kit that I had bought several years ago and never used as the material for Rudolph was just plain grey calico so I salvaged the ribbons and the bell and made him well, more jolly looking. I used the outline pattern as my guide and material pieced two squares up from scraps and embroidery locked the over lapping edges using my sewing machine.This is actually the second Rudolph I made as I hadn't accounted for the seams splitting as I stuffed him!! As time was of the essence I had to abandon the first one and go back to the drawing board with a more robust version which is below.
The answers to the Bumper Spot the difference have been published here. Thankyou to everyone who came and played along. There are a bumper number of winners from each of the 6 games played and here is the definitive list who will be receiving a goodie bag in the New Year, just as soon as I can work out how to use the Post Office's click and drop on line service!!

What a super Rudolph. I like to think there is always a silver lining and in this case you got to send one and keep one - bonus!! Congratulations to the winners and thanks to you for the diversion while we searched for the crafty differences. Have fun with the Royal Mail system.
I love your Rudolph - what a fabulous decoration.
Thank you for the Spot the Differences you have done (and thank you for my prize too). I must admit you have had me beaten on a couple of them - there were some very sneaky changes!
I hope you have a very Happy New Year.

Seriously seriously LOVE Rudolph(s)! I bet your swap partner was soo happy when he flew in. Simply fab Mrs A.
Thanks again for the Spot the Differences - a little bit of fun for me on what was a terrible few days and helped me take my mind off things a little. You're a star.
Hoping for better things for us all in 2021.
Much love. xx
Just adore your Rudolph’s! You have more patience than I would have. Hope you had as good a Christmas as was possible and here’s to a better 2021! xx

I'm thrilled to be among the ladies who spotted the differences. That was so much fun and really made me truly look. I loved that as a kid and still do. Your Rudolph's are adorable. You have so many talents! I wish you the happiest of New Years and a safe and healthy one with lots of craftiness.
I adore both your Rudolph's. Beautifully made as all your handmade items always are. I still cherish your Japanese silk pussycat bag and of course elf Harry, who is always with me in my craftroom.
I loved the Spot the Difference games and am so proud to be amongst the winners.
I wish you and Doc a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

What a lovely gift, I'm sure the recipient loved it.

Your Rudolph is just amazing, you have so many talents! Your games were so much fun, a bright spot in all the craziness these days, thank you!
What a beautiful Rudolph, I’m sure your swap partner was thrilled to receive it.
Thanks for the spot the difference challenges. They were fun to do and I even surprised myself by finding all the differences. The challenges certainly became addictive! 😊
Wishing you a Happy, Healthy and Creative 2021! Looking forward to getting out my butterflies again in the new year. xx
Thrilled to pieces here! And I LOVE your Rudolphs - gosh you're so clever! They are absotootly gorgeous - worthy of the likes of Harrods IMHO! I've sent you my address for Spot the Difference. And have also sent you a version of War and Peace to get you going (initially!) on Click and Drop. At some point, if it's all as muddling as I originally found it, we could do a landline call whilst sitting at our respective computers. But not Facetime as I'll be fighting Dudley off possibly. Not sure if we adopted a dog or a possessive wee beastie really! Once you're set up you really will find it so worthwhile - I promise! Just a shame I can't come and sit beside you on a piano stool as we play a duet with Click and Drop! Dudley is lying here thinking he has a NY Eve pass on his grooming session - am just about to give him a nice surprise - not!
Thanks again - I've not even won so much as an argument for ages!
Love, Di xx
I love the Rudolph ornaments! They both look awesome!
Thanks so much for having the Find the Difference challenges! It was fun to play along and very generous of you to offer prizes too!
Thank you so much for your fun games, and I am lucky enough to be one of the winners
Best wishes to you for a happier and healthier 2021
Rudolph version 1 and version 2 are both fabulous - and at least you get to keep one for yourself. I like the lovely festive fabrics that you used.
The Spot The Difference were a lot of fun. Only the last one managed to stump me which was surprising as I have always struggled with Spot The Difference. I think my boredom and determination got me there. I am thankful to be among the winners.
Happy New Year to you Mrs A. May 2021 be a better year for everyone.
Ahhh your wee Rudolph is fantastic!!! What a lovely make. Thank You for the lovely card you sent to Mum, she was over the moon with it, wishing you a lovely, safe and heathy 2021, Love Hazel xx
Fabulous Rudolphs indeed, you are so very talented. Thanks for keeping us entertained, and a very happy new year to you xxx
