This is my latest finish....my last Christmas gift, which was finished late, as I've been down very sick during the week of Christmas,....both my hubby and I had bronchitis. Tough to both be down at the same time!! Found the pattern in a quilt magazine...I think it may have been "Love of Quilting." I've misplaced my copy, of course, during all the hustle and bustle and then getting so sick!! Imagine that?!! I think the colors are much better in real life, but just wanted to share.

Wow, that is an awesome quilt, I love it! Hope that you are both feeling better, Happy New Year.

Great quilt! I haven't had a bout of bronchitis since I started getting my flu shot each November. Hope you get feeling better soon.

Beautiful quilt---I just LOVE it!!! The whole "country" feel of it, the fabric and the applique!!! Looked for Twigs and Berries with no luck so if you find where the pattern came from, please tell us.....I have F&P from years back so may have it.

Oh gosh - that's beautiful. The colors are great - gives the quilt a nice country feel. Wonderful job. Now you can snuggle under it and recuperate.

Oh I was just looking at this pattern today in a magazine. You version is so pretty! Fighting the temptation to start another. I've had this magazine out for weeks laying in my studio with plans to start when other things get caught up. Love your fabrics.....

Thank you, Tartan......We've been getting flu shots for the past 13 years, which put an end to our bronchitis troubles, too.....until THIS year.

Thank you, Whitney60. I was close. :) Good luck with yours. I really enjoyed making this quilt. I actually made two at the same time (or almost). I cut way tooo many pieces, so I decided to make two. My first one's applique is not quite finished. I made it using 20 blocks instead of 16 as the pattern called for, and placed the appliques in opposite corners instead of all the way around it, as the pattern shows. The smaller one was for a Christmas present, so I decided to spend my time on it...the other one is for me. The applique on TWO kinda got next to me before it was all over with. But, I think the applique just really finishes off this quilt. Soooo, I did it!!

Wonderful quilt! So sorry you and hubby have been sick. I have been sick since 2 days after Christmas, don't ya just hate it when you have so much to do and time off work and then are sick and don't have the energy to do much of anything? Hope you and your hubby recover quickly!

lfstamper 12-31-2013 07:23 PM

Love your quilt! Be careful with bronchitis. I had it for over a month.

Beautiful!!!

misoop 01-01-2014 09:33 AM

thanks, everyone, for your get-well wishes. I do feel much better today, and my hubby is slowly getting better, too. He's a little behind me, as he fractured his hip (hairline) on Thanksgiving, also. Had to stay off that leg for two weeks, in bed. That almost got me, and then the bronchitis did. Stress and old-age is something to be reckoned with....don't ya think? Happy Sewing to everyone for the New Year and good health!! Thanks for your compliments on my quilt, too.

A1penny 01-01-2014 09:35 AM
