Work in Progress

I am quilting a Christmas top I made at last fall’s quilt guild retreat.

I bought the kit for the quilt several years ago at our local annual quilt show, but didn’t get the top made until retreat last fall.

I  love the vintage look of these fabrics.  It’s a very 50’s vibe!!  And being that I was born in the 50’s, it seems like HOME to me… like Christmases of my youth!!

We’ve got bee on Saturday here at my house, so I’ll hand sew the binding down then!  I can’t wait!!  Woo hoo!!

  6. What a wonderful looking quilt; the pattern is gorgeous! I see you are into the October spirit:It is not only the month for Halloween, but breast cancer awareness month!!! Treat yourself or a loved one because you care! I am just stopping by with a reminder to do your self breast exam.
