Day 18: My Christmas Quilts

 I said I would show you the Christmas quilts I’ve made over the years. 

I never started out to have such a large collections of Christmas quilts but I’m planning on making more to have even a larger collection.

I also have a few tops that need to be quilted still and my goal is to get those done next year so we can enjoy them next Christmas. 

Well let’s get started….


Scandinavian Christmas by Lynette Anderson 




This is a vintage top I bought on eBay, the pattern is from the 30’s product by mountain mist batting. Finished it off by hand quilting 

#39 Poinsettia 

You can still purchase this pattern




Love my Gingerbread man quilt design by Marilyn McSpadden. 

It was a Block of the month at Sager Creek in Siloam Springs AR



This is an embroidered red work one.

Came from a book I believe called Redwork Winter Twitterings


One of my favorites next







Not sure of the name, I just call it my Snowman quilt  this one was also design by Marylyn McSpadden





This quilt is a string quilt that was a kit from Sager Creek.  



  

This one is called Vintage Christmas by Erica Made








Now this quilt was a Round Robin   

I was very lucky to be asked to join considering who was in the group. 

All the ladies were published designers except for me.  Talk about pressure.

In the group was Elsie M Campbell, Pam Groggins, Donna Thomas and Marylyn McSpadden.

I treasure this one for many reasons 




Now if I can just keep the boys off of it




Now this one came out of a book that I don’t remember at all.

Those are most of the quilts and hope you enjoyed a little Christmas cheer.

Till tomorrow

  2. Wow, you have a lot of Christmas quilts (all beautiful!) I just made another quilt for our bed and my husband asked me what I would do once i complete the quilt I'm currently making for my son. (Like I'm done with quilting or something because I've been making quilts & lab throws for everyone else since I "retired" in July) I was like...ha ha very funny. I will continue to quilt for some time! Thanks for sharing!

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
