A quilt in the pattern of a Christmas Tree.My DH designed it, and I created it.He described how he wanted it made,and I "drew" it on excel using only square blocks.
This is how it began, stacks of little squares.
This was like playing with fabric leg-o blocks??
After making strips of fabric, I needed to visualize the colours together.
Up onto the design wall...overlapping the strips so it would all fit.

The Star and the top two candles.
Here it is...I'm happy with it!!We Wish You all aMerry Christmas!!

M-I-L for Christmas this year.
She's in Europe; My DH chose
the fabrics he thought she'd like,
and after I'd made the pinwheels,
he designed the quilt top.
I used the print fabrics and pieced them
together for the binding

I've thought about trying it before,
so I was quite happy how it turned out.

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

020 ~ Finally I put my Winnings to Use!!
Back in early January, Beth's Blog had a give away, and I was thrilled to be the proud owner of one of her houses. It's taken me this long to put together my very own lap quilt. Seems I've made quilts for various people ~ but somehow have forgotten about one for me... here it is:
This is the winning house, and for the first time Idid an 'on point' square.
What better way to compliment Beth's house,than with more houses and a few Log Cabins!!
Since it is MY quilt and applique with my nameseemed appropriate! (my DH arranged all the squares in their rightful places)
For the back, I used various fabrics from my stash,and added one of the spare houses in the middle!
