I bought this project in 2009 started it once got frustrated with the directions shoved it in a box and found it again this year. It is finally pieced and ready to be quilted. I know I won't finish it in time this year but wanted to share a bit of Christmas cheer and the advice to look at your quilts tops that are shoved away for one reason or another and revisit them. I'm loving how this is turning out.

Twisted Pole table runner

I was determined to use up bits and pieces of Christmas material scraps this year when I saw this lovely pattern. I have made three so far and two are in the mail as gifts for friends. I hope against all odds that I will get these two quilted in time to give but if not I'll be ahead for next year!

Christmas table runner

I love this fabric line and needed to make some gifts so decided to make some table runners. Holiday Flourish fabric line is so pretty and I think is very traditional.

Christmas project

This is a table topper for my country home which I will place on my husband's grandmothers round oak table that I proudly own. It is from some of my older stash. I only lightly quilted it in accent only which may not be traditional but I like the metallic gold thread I accented the holly leaves with.

Sewing room wall hanging or may be framed

I made this today. It is my first attempt at machine appliqué so by no means is perfect. I completed this today so am updating my pictures. I like the way it brightens up my sewing room.

My former patient was having a hard time and feeling low. I made her this little sampler quilt lap throw from sunny colors of yellow and blue to cheer her up.

Fun Christmas tree skirt

This was made to look traditional for my country farm house Christmas tree skirt. I also made two more for the new brides in our family and will gift them at Thanksgiving so they will have them for their first Christmas celebrated as married women. I just love the traditional look of red and green together and added a touch of gold. The circular design reminds me of a halo.

Quilt made from recycled fabric.

This quilt was made from old used fabrics my Mom had. I intentionally made it to look like it is an antique quilt. After piecing it I gave it a short tea bath. I pieced this four years ago and think it looks old. I love this quilt. It made me wonder if anyone else has tried this. Fill a bath tub with warm water add tea bags then remove then put quilt into tub until desired stain is on quilt. Try on scrap to determine soaking time. My quilt was soaked for 20 minutes then rinsed in cool water followed by white vinegar and into the dryer to set.

Pin cushion

I made this as for a little distraction using a pattern in Block Magazine. I added some definition to its body and some wings. My hubby has accused me of making a VooDoo chicken! He was wondering if I had made a Voo Doo doll of him too...silly man I have had one for years I told him.

Hopping down the bunny trail quilt

Made a disappearing hourglass quilt after watching tutorial using a fabric from my stash with bunnies on it. after it was pieced I noticed it made a trail of bunnies down the quilt so I named it Hopping Down the Bunny Trail. It is being quilted to give to my nieces three year old for her birthday.

Flanel quilt with embroidery squares surrounded by

I love to quilt and to do hand embroidery so this quilt was a lot of fun for me to make. It has a fall woodsy theme. I designed some of the embroidery blocks the duck the fish and the fishing lure. The others were from a magazine. I designed this quilt to surround the blocks. After I completed it I decided it lacked something so I appliqued the burgundy accent around the embroidered block centers which sneaks into the adjacent block. Fall is near so I will use this to snuggle up in on my sofa.
