Christmas Is Coming

Yes Christmas is coming! Blogland is full of  it and so are Quilt stores. So I have made my first small wall hanging, approxiamately 54" square. It was a freebee pattern from Fat Quarter shop a number of years ago. I made a few changes with the ribbon bow. They had it 3d and sewn onto the quilt. I made it applique and also added some berries to it. Didn't buy anything new, just from stash
, even the backing. It's ready for the quilter, but going to wait until I have another one ready also. 




Backing is a white on white fabric.


I have started another Christmas project from 2013, from when Susan Lemmon owned  Colorz Quilt Shop.  It is a small quilt from Kate Spain. I think you could easily use it for placemats or pot holders too. This is the first block....

This is the small booklet....
Be safe , be kind, 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.
