Did you guess where I was headed with the little star blocks?
This was my inspiration. I found this photo on Pinterest, with no indication of owner. I wonder if this piece is actually a pillowcase.
Here is my version, similar to, but not exact.
And the back.
Have a great day!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
Here are a few more Christmas quilts made in years past. They have all been gifted long ago, but it’s still fun to look back.
Have a great day!
“In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!””
Luke 2:8-14 NRSV
I shared this last year on Christmas Eve. It has meant so much to me, that I just might share it every year! It is from Hannah Brenchler.
Life has been busy and I’ve been in the mood for a small project. So I went to my Pinterest boards and picked something. Here is my fabric pull.
I used my 6” AccuQuilt Qube.
Can you see where I’m going here?
I hope to finish this week.
Have a great day!
I was not familiar with the work of Philip C. Curtis before seeing his work at the museum. I think this may have been my favorite exhibit there. So whimsical!
This information is from the Philip C. Curtis Trust website:
Philip Campbell Curtis is called a surrealist or magic realism painter. His difficult to categorize, vibrantly colored works leaves the viewer playfully with more questions than answers. The imaginary scenes he created blend the desert landscape of Arizona with memories of growing up in Victorian era Jackson, Michigan. Each painting tells a story and invites the viewer to enter an imaginary world where his dreams and his imagination met.
Have a great day!
Mr. Wonderful and I have been exploring the area lately. It’s so beautiful here.
We met some wild burros! They are so adorable!
And rather friendly. 😊
We finished a puzzle.
I realized after I started it that I put this together last year. It was still fun.
There is an app called Top Nine that shows your top posts for the year. This is mine.
Some food for thought.
Have a great day!
I finally have this quilt done.
I was asked if there is a pattern for this. I did not use one. I did use this die from AccuQuilt . One quarter of the block shown on the package finishes at seven inches.
The quilting is hard to see, unless you look at an angle with the sun coming in a window.
That bright pink thread barely shows.
I used a light pink solid on the back.
And this strange batik for binding. It has brown, orange, purple, yellow etc in it.
It finished at about 70 inches square.
Have a great day!

This post from November 2017 still makes me laugh! It brings back fond memories of Christmases past. Enjoy!
The Christmas Feud
Long time readers may remember this sorry quilt. If you want the back story, you can find it here. It’s a sad looking quilt and hung in my bathroom every Christmas for many years. Last year, I gave it to Daughter #3 when she told me how much she loved it.
The other night she sent me this photo of it proudly hanging in her living room. Yes, she is already decorating for Christmas! She also sent this to her sister, Daughter #1.
A few minutes later, I received this text from Daughter #1.
So, I went to JoAnns and picked up these.
Time to make another bathroom quilt!
Have a great day!
It’s on the frame!
This is the thread I’m using in the top.
This is the pantograph I’m using.
As you can see here, neither one really shows!
Have a great day!
