Christmas Is Coming!

I have been working on a few little things , one of which I have just finished and am dying to show you.


It is a small wool applique in a 14" square frame. It has sparkling  red swakorski crystals in the wreath and tree.
I have also been working on a lap quilt using the fabric line called "Silver Linings" . The pattern is called "Hugs and Kisses" by Julie Herman  of Jaybird Quilts.



I still have one more row of twenty 6 1/2" blocks to go. I am going to do a few more than that to add to the backing fabric.
I had been working on a pattern by Edyta Sitar  with gingerbread men, but I will have to start all over with that one.....


After I put it in the washer on delicate cycle to let the wash a way paper melt away ,so did the seams. It was linen and I did not zig zag the edges. I also used hot water and it shrunk. Totally my fault and I am starting all over again. Talk with you later, Martha.

  I have been doing some more sewing of flying geese, the past couple of days.  I have made some progress as I have about twenty sashings total sewn now.  Here are pics of what I have finished so far. I also got back another lap quilt from the quilter and I have sewn down the binding on the front side. In the evenings I am enjoying hand sewing the back side.   I also purchased some Applipops  , which were a bit on the expensive side($35) and decided to try them for all the circles in this quilt. They are not worth the price in my opinion.  To each his own. I prefer my mylar circle washers, There are many more sizes and easier to use.
