Candy Cane Bouquet - Done!

I know I haven't been in blogland much lately.. and I am sure I have missed some wonderful posts, but I have just been super busy (Like all of us this time of year!) with a new boss at work and all that comes with that!  But I wanted to share with you a UFO finish!  Yahoo!

This quilt, Candy Cane Bouquet, by Laurie Simpson was on my 2014 UFO list.  So I am really happy to have it done and actually hanging up for this holiday season!

Love the mix of cotton and wool.

I started this quilt last year.  You can see the post about it here.  The pattern was in the Winter issue of Primitive Quilts.
I don't have a lot of other quilting projects ready to post right now... so I thought I would just share some Christmas quilts, etc. from the past.

In the front hallway, a runner from Log Cabin Star blocks won at a quilt guild party many years ago.

Two friends cuddle together on a Christmas quilt.

A table topper that was a challenge to make.  This is about 9 years old, but still looks great on the coffee table in the family room.

Gracie just like to snuggle amongst all the Christmas pillows!

I still have Christmas sewing to do (oh, my!)..so I better run!!

Happy Stitching

A Celebration!!

What a wonderful way to celebrate my 100th post - by sharing a recent finish!!  Isn't this the sweetest quilt??  I finally finished this a few weeks ago.

This quilt, called Chintz Bouquet, is on my 2014 UFO list.  (Happy Dance!) I was so thrilled to finally have this one done.... I can't even remember when I started it.. but I would guess eight or nine years ago! LOL  Some of my quilting friends might remember this one - you even helped me decide on the border fabrics!  Well.. it's finally done. 

The flowers, buds and leaves were needle-turn appliqued to the machine pieced baskets.  Love the scrappiness of this quilt.  I machine pieced the blocks; it was machine quilted by longarm quilter Janice Jamison.

Now doesn't this look like the perfect spot to sit down with a book, or some hand work?

 

Happy Stitching,
