Winter Wonderland stars

I put together all the star blocks for the Winter Wonderland quilt - love how scrappy they are! :o) "Star of Hope" blocks: "Cut the Corners" blocks:

"Double X" blocks:

"Maple Star" blocks:

"Martha Washington Star" blocks (top) and "Pinwheel" blocks (bottom):

Now to put it all together! :o) Thanks for all the nice comments, I am really enjoying this project! I'm so excited to see how it all looks together! :o)

last two Winter Wonderland blocks!

Just finished up the last two embroidery blocks for Winter Wonderland! First is the "Snow Family" block - about 9" x 14". And last, but certainly not least! The "Candy Cane Clothesline" block - about 16" x 24"!

Now to start making the pieced blocks, there are 6 varieties of stars, in 6", 9" and 12" sizes... All red and white scrappy... :o) This was a kit, so I can't take credit for the fabrics... :o)

Thanks for visiting!

Happy New Year!

Three more embroideries done for the Winter Wonderland quilt! Here is the "Holly Border" block - about 4" x 38".
And here is the "Snowbirds" block - about 16" x 14".

And the "Snowball Fight" block - about 7" x 15".

Just two more blocks to go! I'm so excited to see how they'll all look together!

2011 will be the year I really concentrate on getting some of these older projects done and use up some of what I already have... :o)

Happy New Year to all my blogging friends! :o)

2 more Winter Wonderland blocks...

These blocks are going fast now... :o) Here is the "Skier" block - about 8" x 8".
And the "Snowflakes Verse" block - about 6" x 14".

Now onto the next block... :o) Thanks for visiting!

Winter Wonderland...

"Walking in a Winter Wonderland"... No not literally. Although we did get about 4" of snow Christmas Eve! :o) I have had the kit for the "Winter Wonderland" quilt since before last Christmas, and finally pulled it out the other day, and finished the top block - "Winter Wonderland". This is a *large* block, about 11" x 38".
I also finished the "Snow Angel" block - about 8" x 8".

And the "Toboggan" block - about 15" x 9".

I am really enjoying working on these, and they are going quickly, since I finally finished the largest block! I have another Crabapple Hill kit, the "Snowman A to Z" kit, to work on next... :o) And I have my eye on the "Merry Little Christmas" pattern too! I guess I'd better get busy! :o)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my friends!
May we all remember the reason for the season!

Weekend Projects...

This weekend was spent working on various projects... :o) First off, I finished up Sara Bear. She is for my mom for Christmas. I had her made, I just needed to "age" her and add her ribbon and flower... (Kit from The Old Pincushion Etsy shop.)
And check out this BEAUTIFUL hang tag that my friend Laurie, from Indulge Your Shelf, made to go with Sara.... Here is the front:

And here is the back:

Thank you again, Laurie! :o)

And last but not least... 10 Christmas Flannel fat quarters + backing = YUMMY!

I had some Christmas flannel FQs that I had gotten from The Nauvoo Quilt Company Etsy shop this past summer, that I didn't know what I wanted to do with... So I decided to cut the FQs into 3" squares and see how many 9-patch blocks it would make. Turns out it'll make more than 36 blocks, which is how many I used to make this little snuggly throw. A piece of flannel for the back, and there ya go! :o)
