Ready For A Christmas Quilt.
Posted on | December 9, 2015 | 13 Comments
This quilt has been in the works for quite a while, so it is great to see it finally finished and ready to hang for the festive season.
This is a Viv’s Creations pattern by Viv Robinson.
It is made using raw edge applique. I also chose to do a lot of the embroidery with free motion quilting.
I can show closer pics of each row.
Most of the fabrics are by Lynette Anderson with a few extras added in.
Last row.
And one of the presents.
I changed the sides from the original pattern to reindeer and holly instead of words.
I kept the quilting to simple meandering and used many of the fabrics from the range in the backing and binding.
The quilting was a cream thread but the applique was done using a variegated thread.
Hooray for another finish.
This week seems to be the start of many Christmas get togethers. I have already had two Christmas break up functions and have two more on Thursday and Friday. And then another three next week.
I will certainly be in the Christmas spirit when the big day arrives.
I do hope you are enjoying all the fun catch ups that occur at this time of year.
Cheers, Karen

This is a really beautiful Christmas quilt. I love all the details, wonderful threadwork you’ve done and cute reindeers in the borders. Congratulations on another beautiful finished quilt! Wishing you fun and merry times at your Christmas get togethers.
What a beautiful quilt! Just in time for hanging. I just baked some cookies for a sewing group cookie exchange tomorrow. All other clubs and groups met earlier, so I think this might be the last. We did a pin cushion exchange at our Guild party last night. Lots of fun.
Oh, I love all the details in this pattern. What a treasure to have for the holidays!
