2012 CHRISTMAS QUILT SHOW

2012 CHRISTMAS QUILT SHOW

*

This year I decided to do something a little different for my entry.

*

*

This pillow pattern was presented to a group of quilters/crafters as part of hop

by Jill Finley of Jillily Studio.

(see my previous post...there's a giveaway there!)

*

*

I had so much free reign with it and added my own flare through FMQ in the sky with lots of swirling movement and on many of the houses with texture and details.

*

*

My ghostly snowman could be from winter's past.

*

*

Houses have been appliqued with Santas and wreaths for added festive flavour.

*

*

See the icicles hanging from the window panes? Brrrrr

*

*

I added sparkling lights to 2 of the houses with more FMQ.

*

It's a wonderful pattern, very easy to do and can be changed up to be personalized in so many ways.

Why not link up your seasonal/holiday project and join the fun at the 

2012 Christmas Quilt Show.

Just sayin'  ;O)

I'm Doing The HUSTLE...R U? UPDATED!!

I'm heading back to the 70's/80's to do the hustle!

Kelsey's Kinda Hustle!!

She's going to be our fearless leader in this 100 day sewing

*EXTRAVAGANZA*

Why not join our batch of unfinished quilters and crafters, with their wips and pigs in hand,

and make a pledge that you will make as much of a dent in your bundles as humanly possible

by DECEMBER 31, 2012?

All you need to do is make a list,

check it twice,

link to Kelsey's post tomorrow

and you're in!

Midway through we'll post our progress ( or lack thereof )

and then on December 31 another post of what we've accomplished.

Easy Peasy, right? Right!

Oh, by the way...

I heard on the QT (not really, Kelsey told us)

she's going to have

PRIZES!!!

How's that for a little extra motivation?

Prizes and completed projects, a cleared sewing table ready for the New Year, Hmmmm?

Here's my list of P.I.G.'s (projects in grocerybags)

*

First up,

I've had this on the go for at least 4 years now.

Next,

the binding and label.

Not sure what's been taking so long with this.

Archiekins!

My little guy needs a hand getting this quilt sewn up for Dad's birthday, Dec. 1.

CJ has picked all the fabrics and started sewing it together but got a little bogged down when he went back to school.

Now these have been in this state for the past 3 (or 4) Christmases.

They need to be finished!

I made such a great start and actually had the top finished in a short time but then I stalled out.

I need to get er done, winter's a comin'!

WHEW!!

Keep going!

This is another P.I.G. that's been in the bag waaay too long.

I can't even remember when I started this Whirlygiggle.

This 9 Patch is even older than the Whirlygiggle,

I'm sew embarrassed.

Last but not least, I'm sure, (ya right!!) 

is this bag.

I've had the pattern for more than a year

and the bag I am using is pathetic.

*

Just to make things a little more interesting I'll add a few gifties for the Holidays,

let's see there's the teachers for all 4 of my kiddos,

one or two are expecting from what I'm told,

a couple of friends that go above and beyond...

*

UPDATE SEPTEMBER 22nd

I WON!!!

Yep, I won Cindy's Dots On Dots Giveaway!

I'm now the proud owner of this pattern

"LAUNDRY DAY"

I'm going to add it to my list because it's sew darn cute,

I can't resist!

Thank you Cindy & Wilson!

*

So that's my line up for the

100 DAY HUSTLE!

How's your list looking?
