023 Christmas Tree Quilt

For our Christmas, I made a tree quilt. 

DH designed it; I created it. 

using only 2" squares.

This is how it began,  stacks of little squares.

Puzzling??

 

I needed to visualize the colours together.

Up onto the design wall....

 

 A close-up of the star...

 The Star& a couple of candles.

Done!

We Wish You all a

Merry Christmas!!

022 ~ Merry Christmas for my M-I-L

A quilt for my 
M-I-L for Christmas.  

 

For the binding, I used some of the floral fabrics

to make a 'scrappy' binding.

She is thrilled!!!

And I am happy!!

 Done!!

Molly the rag Dolly ariana

Molly....that's just the name I gave her

She's for my niece's daughter

Here she is - before

My first rag doll...arms are way too thin

a neck like a crane

funny she's got mary janes on, 

but i forgot to give her hands

Morris said she was fine just the way she was but...

After re-constructive surgery

she's got musical hands

shorter neck, and a bit wider tummy

to fit the size of her head

Funky Hair!!

the eyes & mouth are from

my Mother's embroidery floss

Doll Blanket

196 squares plus the sashing & border

 Mattress for the doll bed

Having a moment in the sun

A Girls gotta have Gucci's

Inside.... so much more civilized!!

Kitten Holster Morris

We didn't want a "flat kitty"....

kittens somehow 'know' 

how to get out of regular harnesses...... 

I needed a better solution

luckily i found a place that sells "kitten holsters"....

so i created my own 

Morris now has his very own holster

and he even helped in the making of it

021 ~Baby Blanket ariana

I have finally completed this baby blanket; 

it took far too long...I dallied far too long on it..

I quilted it with a free-hand wavy stitch.

020 ~ Finally I put my Winnings to Use!! Mine

A little house block, i won on a give-away.  I've made quilts for various people ~ but somehow have forgotten about one for me... this one's for me.

I set the house 'on point'.

  Houses & Log Cabins surround the winning house!!

 

Since it is MY quilt I appliqued my name 

on a block!

  the Backing!

A gift for a gifter

These blocks are for a fellow quilter, who enjoys making things for others.

I Finally Won a Give Away!!!!

I Won!!   I Won!!   I Finally Won!!

I've been putting my name in for 

give away's for a while.... 

and have never won a thing....

well today..... my luck changed!!

and this is where I won!!

I look forward to receiving my block 

so I can do Beth proud!
