More Sharing


Two quilters at the retreat worked on this Christmas quilt. It was so cute. The pattern is free from Moda here.

Lesley is starting a new Christmas stitch along starting tomorrow--Friday, 9/23.


I love redwork. I'm going to go here and download the patterns each Friday. There are seven designs to stitch.



I wanted to show you this wall hanging that was a round robin. I've never participated in a round robin and I'm not sure I'm creative enough to do one. I also get nervous making something for some one else, so I'm not sure I would be comfortable doing this. I just loved this wall hanging tho. The quilter is adding beading and embellishments to it yet. You can see she hasn't bound it yet. I love the pink flower, the squares and the circles in the border. One of the benefits of going to a retreat is seeing things that inspire you to think differently than your same old way.

DH is still silaging down at the cousins. Michelle came home for a couple days and we hung out. In my next post I'll show you what else has been going on around here.

    Thanks for the link Janet. I also have just joined in the Christmas Stitchery Sewalong.

    Love the present quilt too so will check that one as well.

    Do join in with a Round Robin or Row by Row if you get the chance as they are fun.

    I really like the present quilt too. I do not have the confidence to join in on a round robin but I love seeing the results of everyone else's creativity!

    Hi Janet. I printed this off too and bought some nice white fabric today to embroider them on. I can't believe I am starting another project. LOL Hope things are going well for you.
