The sewing has gotten better. By now, I am a pro and super quick at rethreading! Ha! Lucky,lucky me, I didn't have any tension issues. I decided that getting it all quilted in one day was not as important as my sanity. I got my quick quilt quilted in three days. I'm okay with that. If you follow me on Instagram or Flickr, you have seen it.
Plus, everyone but my cute lil girl had the flu. Boo! I am doing much better and Jared, but hubby is feeling green still. Yuck!
I inverted this row of pinwheels on the back. I love how they float.
I agree with some others, the quilting adds another dimension to the quilt. I really love when that happens. (Wasn't planned.)
This is the story on this, I was given this main wall fabric that is in the room from a bee member. It's a theme challenge with crazy fabric, and you have to use the whole yard. I drew my theme, and it was winter. Darn. So, I jumped on wallpaper. It had to be at least 36x36. So, it has high ceilings. Other members had a year to do this. I had a month. Go me, I just finished it up today.
Here's a close up of the tree. I received some cute little light buttons. I used them on the tree. I reused this cute twine on the presents. I put a bow on the wreath. I think it turned out pretty good. Hubby says, "I don't think it's ugly anymore." Score again. :)
I also had to come up with a stocking that I fill for a bee member. It has some cute piping at the top. Now, I have to make some little goodies to go in it. We are doing a stocking swap. Any ideas???
Blog at ya later.

Your quilt is beautiful! That quilting really does give another dimension - fab texture. I like your foating blocks on the back too. Congrats on the finish :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just have to do a scrappy binding.
ReplyDeleteI love your quick pinwheel quilt. Congratulations on a fast finish.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a breeze.
DeleteCute, cute blog and projects! Love the owl mug rug over on Negligent Style!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Maybe after the holidays I will do a little swap here. They are soo fun, and I love meeting new people that love to sew. I am glad that you stopped by and love your blog as well. Hope you have a good day! :)
DeleteI really like how you took some crazy busy fabric and used it in the challenge, it turned out so cute!! The floating pin wheels on the back are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks, we did a mini quilt show. I didn't get a ribbon, but there was tons of food and exchanged stockings. It was pretty awesome. I like the back on that pinwheel quilt too. At least, the pressure is off on making things on a tight deadline.
DeleteYour quilt looks great. Lovely quilting and colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks you! Have a great weekend. I am glad you like the owls.
DeleteHi, Yvonne! It was great to meet you at the ECMQG Christmas party today. It was fun seeing your quilt in person then reading about it on your blog! You obviously belong to another guild as well, since ECMQG didn't do that particular challenge. Sounds fun though! I hope you will join us at ECMQG again! I'm following your blog now. =)
ReplyDeleteHi, Wendy! Thanks for stopping by my blog and following. It was really great meeting you as well. I love what you've been working on. It's fantastic! I do love seeing things in person. Sometimes, the photos just don't do it justice. I was the Pensacola Quilt Guild, and I am in a bee. The theme quilt is for the bee. I will be shopping at westwood acres from now on too! I will be coming back to ECMQG.It's an awesome group, and I can't wait for the next sew day! I hopped over and followed you too. :)
