Making CHRISTmas Gifts
 
3 Attachment(s)
The Santa quilt has three borders that can not be seen in the photo,: red, yellow and green. It was quilted by a friend who is a LAQ and she did swirling snowflakes and it looks wonderful. I show the backing as well so you can see her design. The binding is going to be blue with tiny star design. It is for a friend and I will give it to her the first of Dec. An early CHRISTmas gift.

The second is a table runner for a wide table for a cousin. I am hand quilting it.

Char,
Great Santa quilt, quilting is great. Really like the green table runner. You know how we like green in Huntington, WV,.
Tomorrow is homecoming at Marshall and we play Tulsa. I beat the table runner will look even better after you do the hand quilting. Great job on both

Janie, my husband had on his Thundering Herd shirt and was stopped by a guy kind of poking fun at the Herd and razing my husband - then laughed and said he was a fan of the Herd too. He sure had a round about way of saying he was a fan. I will be handquilting the table runner while he watches Marshall win - we hope. Enjoy the game.

Both are beautiful. I have the same green fabrics that are still UFO blocks. I wish I had more of that fabric to continue, but it was from years ago. You did a great job.

Beautiful fun quilting on the Santa one. And great cheerful colors.

debcavan 10-05-2012 07:44 PM

They look great. That is right, it isn't that faraway any more

audsgirl 10-05-2012 09:44 PM

Both of them are wonderful. I did a cross stitch picture of the same Mary Engelbreit design that comes out every year. I love it.

That is a gorgeous panel and you are right!, the swirling snowflake quilt design is a perfect choice. I still Believe in Santa :)
