You might have thought, justifiably, that I had given up on this project, but I have been plugging away at it. I have a few more blocks completed (including a little stocking for Emily), but not quite enough for another row. At the rate I’m going, I might actually finish it by Christmas.
I was going to take a photo of another quilt top today, but it has been pouring rain for two days and I can’t get a break to take an outside photo. It’s a little unusual for us since mostly we just have drizzly rain — it’s been a good day to stay inside and sew.
It’s fun to see your progress on this quilt. It has such a warm, nostalgic feel to it! 🙂
This is going to be so special. I love it!
What a happy, story-telling quilt! I love this!
This quilt makes me happy – it’s so darling! I hope you do get it done by Christmas!
This is one of my favorites! I love the colors and the bold lines on the stitched blocks. The different sized blocks also makes it very interesting for the eye. I might just print off a set and start a Christmas quilt of my own!
How incredibly adorable! I love, love, love it!
EEk, when I enlarge the pictures, your embroidery doesn’t look like it has been stitched at all… it looks as though all the adorable figures have been drawn with a fine point pen… awesome!!
Ok Martha-this is the one you submit to be on the cover of American Patchwork and Quilting or Quilter’s Newsletter magazine…the Christmas issue! A very special work of art!
You are very talented. These Christmas designs are fabulous!
You have inspired me to return to embroidery, which I haven’t done in many years.
Please keep posting photos of your wonderful work!
LOVE this! The colours, the patchwork, the embroidery…so lovely!
This is so wonderful – and great photos despite what sounds like constant rain up your way.
