The Snow family is finished except for the child's nose and a bit of hand-binding that I am leaving for something to do in quilt class today. I don't know what I'll do to make that nose. It's so small...
I brought out the box of tall Christmas trees that I work on each year. I made a stack of pieces so that I just need to sit down and start sewing. I'm not sure who they will go to, but I love making them.
Working more on my witch. All is turn-edged, placed, and appliqued onto the background except for the shoes, broom, and objects that are falling out of her pocket. The jack-o-lantern took all one morning - has 11 pieces! I needed to get that witch off of my design wall so that I can continue with other projects.
The Riley Blake charm pack arrived in the mail and luckily go with 2 of the pieces that I am required to use. This is for the Riley Blake challenge due in February. I am planning on a throw with an easy hex pattern.
This 2-handed pot-holder was a gift for me as an exchange challenge last month at my modern quilt guild meeting. I will take it today to quilt class as an example of an easy gift to make for Christmas. It's 24 inches long, but I would suggest making it a bit longer so that it will hold a casserole.
I've never crazy-quilted, so this rose is my learning experience. My sides keep getting larger and melding, and I don't know how to avoid that. I will ask for help at the class today.
I will continue working on the colorwash challenge due in the January modern quilt guild meeting, and the Riley Blake taupe quilt due in February, and more Christmas gifts of course. Only 5 weeks until Christmas!
