Margaret's first quilt, didn't she do well! Made from a Jelly Roll, she asked me to quilt an all over design (aka 'edge to edge'). I quilted the ever popular Baptist Fan using a Glide thread called "military gold.
Margaret had a go at quilting this herself but gave up and asked me to please help by quilting it for her, I was happy to help!
There you go you back lovers, sorry Sue, 'the cat' must have been sleeping rather than supervising on this day.
Thank you Margaret.
One day while looking for just one table runner I got
My fairy lights I have out all year got wrapped around the stack of old suitcases.
Some fabric Christmas trees made years ago and the Santa penny mat I had forgotten had made until I found him with all the other decorations, that is like Christmas!!
My 'collection' of snowmen..................well it is a collection if only three!
Who has their decorations out and tree up?
All our decorations are up and I am loving this time if year. I soooooooo live our collection of suitcases. Don't know if I have the space. I am hoping hubby lets me have an old wooden ladder that I just sitting in the garage, Can't you see quilts on it?, I sure can!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove all those old cases. Doesn't quilting change the look of a quilt - she did an amazing job for her first one.
ReplyDeleteHiya Leeanne, Margaret did VERY well with her first quilt I think ... I would be so proud if I could achieve that first time round. Oh your decorating is just beautiful Leeanne ... love it all. LOVE the penny rug & the suitcases ... do you realise once you have 3 or more then you are allowed to call it a collection !!!
ReplyDeleteWow Margaret did a fantastic job on her first quilt...and your quilting is sensational as usual!! Your decorating is lovely....are snowmen going to be an ongoing collection for you? No decorations up here, family all away overseas, house on the market......maybe we will just escape to the beach!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great quilt and I love the BF design on it--good call!
ReplyDeleteYour decorating is delightful. I love that you keep fairy lights out all year. I keep a little lighted tree in my sewing room all year just for the magic. : )
a lovely quilt and beautifully quilted by you. Lots of nice decorations here, none up in my house I have to admit I do not bother any more
ReplyDeleteI love your Christmas display! More gorgeous quilting on a gorgeous quilt x
ReplyDeleteI will forgive the cat for being absent obviously extremely busy doing something else!! Love your decorating, and three santa is very much a collection. My tree is up and decorated within an inch of its life!!
ReplyDeleteObviously I'm letting the side down with no tree up yet! The Baptisit Fans look great on Margaret's quilt - well done to her on a lovely creation.
ReplyDeleteShe did do well with her first quilt and the Baptist Fan quilting couldn't be a more perfect match!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous quilt and quilting and I LOVE seeing your Christmas decorations. :)
