Christmas Stocking

Our friends are visiting us next week so I made this as a gift for their son. I really like the way it turned out.

Some Christmas Gift Sewing!

Carrying on with my paper pieced compass blocks for Christmas Table Toppers. I like this one but wish I had used the red in the centre instead of the green. 

Christmas Table Topper Finish

So Early for Christmas 2015!

Finished my Carpenter's Star Wall Hanging! :) And it's only March! 

Yes I started this quilt in December 2013 but hey! It's done now!!!

I think this turned out well.
Made with Basic Grey's Aspen Frost.

Carpenter's Star - WIP

I bought Aspen Frost by Basic Grey for Moda last Christmas and wanted to make a Carpenter's Star wall hanging for our home. I drew up the pattern, figured everything out and for some reason didn't actually sew anything! Then of course once the season passes it's hard to motivate myself to sew for Christmas. This year I decided I would get this done! Aspen Frost is a beautiful collection. I wish I had more of this fabric. It's gorgeous.

I used a Charm Pack and yardage from the line.

Christmas Sewing!

Finished a couple of my Christmas Table Toppers.

Quilting on the Square had a free paper pieced block of the month program on their website - I don't think the patterns are available any more. They were all compass blocks but I thought they would look pretty with Christmas fabric.

A little Christmas Sewing

Quilting on the Square had a free paper pieced block of the month program on their website - I don't think the patterns are available anymore. They were all compass blocks but I thought they would look pretty with Christmas fabric. So I made this for our foster grandmother.

I pieced this one but haven't quilted it yet.

I feel like they look like stars and work for Christmas.

Sewing for the family :)

I made these for my niece and nephew. They chose the fabric. They're going to pin it to their walls/doors I think. My 7 year old nephew believes that these are the only two fabrics in my stash that are cool enough for him...so here they are together... not too bad actually.

My niece is madly in love with blue. So this is what she chose. She also did a lot of sewing this vacation. It was lovely to share my sewing room and fabric with her. She is such a delight. :)

Made some table mats for my sister-in-law. Christmas fabric makes me happy.

Christmas in August

I bought a lot of Christmas fabric the very first time I went to Okalipuram. At that point I had mostly reds and didn't really have anything to contrast it with. On one of my later trips I found this lovely red and green fabric and so decided it was time for my Christmas reds to come out of the closet.

 I really like this reindeer fabric too.

 These were so simple to do. I just cut strips of 1.5", 2,5" and 3.5" widths and 12.5" length. Then placed them in different combinations to add up to 18" (minus .5" on each for seam allowance) and they're done! So quick and easy to do.
