Happy to announce that I FINISHED my Christmas Sampler. Got the borders on last night and now I need to piece a back, get pinning and quilting. Hopefully I can do the machine quilting and it won't be too hard on my arms and hands. With breaks, I think it's doable.
I love pictures for showing you what you've missed! Yes, the top angels are supposed to have heads. They will get them today. It's a bit blurry too, hubby did the best he could.
You might notice the wider borders on the top and bottom than the sides. Yea, had to be done because I made Cheri's pattern a bit wider than it called for and it ended up looking rather short and squatty, so it needed a bit more length. But I like it that way. Never cared if border were different sizes or the same. Actually some differences are cool. I'm so glad to have this one done and once it gets quilted I'll add all the buttons eyes and things and put the finished picture up for you to see!
Oh I really like your Christmas quilt that is just wonderful!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought about Christmas last week, next week I will begin my Works for Christmas.

ReplyDeleteWe used to have the best time at summer camp, hanging up our socks and singing about reindeer, Frosty, and winter wonderlands when it was 90+ degrees in the shade... lol
Oh, Judy, the quilt is wonderful! I still haven't started my last block. Maybe after vacation. Are you going to quilt it yourself or send it out? Are you going to do another Cheri quilt?
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute Judy. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI am very fond of Cheri's patterns, no way to find this wonderful one anymore...your quilt is wonderful!
