So I know it's not July anymore but I got these two quilted last month and I really wanted to use that title so there ya go.
This is a little look alike that I promised myself I would make after giving its twin to a friend last Christmas. I loved the fabrics so I needed one for me!
And this one I am calling "Christmas Carol".
All the fabric (except for the back) is from the sweet woman that gave me her quilting machine last year. Carol shared quite a bit of her stash with my mom before she died and Mom generously shared it with me and my sister.
The pattern I quilted is kind of hard to see but I wanted it to be somewhat snowflakish looking so I traced a circle in the middle of each block. For the first few I free handed with my blue marker before I quilted. After 3 or 4 like that I was able to just quilt the pattern without any markings besides the circle.
I'm happy to have these two done. I've been planning them ever since last Christmas :)
Two beautiful finishes, Aimee. Glad I got to see them in person.
ReplyDeleteYou are really doing well. The quilting is impressive.
I like the name Christmas Carol. It will be one year next week since Carole passed.
