2011Christmas Quilt Show


I thought I would enter a quilt in SewCalGal's 2011 Christmas Quilt Show. You still have time to enter your quilt too. I have been visiting some of the links and there are some really fabulous entries.
My entry is a wall hanging that I made for my mom in 2009. It was a free embroidery BOM from Gail Pan. It was a fun project to work on. My mom keeps it hanging all year in her sewing room.

I pulled out some Christmas decorations this morning but have not really started putting them in their places. I also did get to do some sewing today. I will be prepping some more leaves for my Hop To It block while I watch TV tonight. Tomorrow I plan to do some Christmas shopping. Got lists from the kids. Maybe I can find some deals!

With Passion,
Carrie P.

    Such a sweet quilt, Carrie! I don't blame your mom for keeping it up all year. :) I haven't gotten our Christmas decorations out yet. Maybe tomorrow.

    This was a fun pattern from Gail. I think it should be a year round quilt with such inspiration. Nicely done.

    Love the quilt, that was such a pretty pattern, I love the fabrics you've used. Yours looks so warm and happy. I'm off to do Christmas shopping tomorrow also, I'm usually almost finished by now and this year I've not even started. Panic time

    Lovely quilt. I love Gail Pan's patterns. I've done a similar quilt last year. I hang it on my living-room during Xmas season.

    A sweet & lovely wall hanging. I love the thought of sewing through the generations. A love of handwork runs through both sides of my family. I like to think it is in our genes... Generations of busy, contented hands. Peace, b

    Love it of course! I can't play yet as all my decor is stuck in boxes in the basement. I've got to get this place decorated but it is hard with the agent tells you to make rooms look bigger! We are having an agent open house on the 13th...should be interesting.
    I think I just about finished up shopping today...now for wrapping!

    I made this design, but put it together as a table runner. Because it needed another block, I ended up designing one myself. It's a freebie on my blog. Your's is very nice. Wasn't it a fun BOM to do?
