Tuesday, November 16, 2010 SewCalGal: Christmas Quilt Show (178)
Sew I was blog hopping as usual and came upon Aunt Polly's Porch blog and she was showing off her adorable Christmas quilt for the SewCalGal: Christmas Quilt Show 2010...
Well I want to enter a few delights of my own that I've created over Christamas's Past :
I made about 12+ of this cute little snowmen, I think everyone got one that year :)
I did stockings one year for a bunch of people and exchanges filled them full of goodies. These were pre-printed patterns, super easy and fun!
Tree of Life: My Sister wanted one, it was paper pieced (my first project)
I loved it so much I made myself one..
I called them Family Trees :)
Tree Skirt was a class I taught a few years back...turned out really cute. One lady made over 20 of these.
Snowman door hanger, I made about 10 of these one year and they were all different but all a HUGE hit! Pattern was out of MaCalls I think?
We always do ornaments each year on each gift, one year I made them all...they were all different and super cute. This was when I fell in love with embroidery.
Twinkle tree covered in french knots, was a block exchange...
This isn't something that I made but it is stitched, embroidered and is for Christmas to me from my Mum, thanks Mum I LOVE it!
Well I hope you enjoy stopping by, now what am I going to make this year,
thanks so much for checking this post out and leaving me a comment :)
Until next time, stay happy and creative!
