Modern Patchwork Christmas Tree Quilt Pattern

Sometimes I get so lucky.

Like today when the babies slept synchronously all day and I actually had time to do something. 

Like this.

Now available here. and here. 

Merry Christmas!! 

Something for a Saturday

Had to sew something today while I wait IMpatiently for my "Joy" fabric to arrive. 

I guess I could have taken a photo of it in progress, but that just ruins the surprise for you.

I'm not much of a secret keeper.

More of a bean spiller.

So I'll tell you it's a granny square pattern. 

Oh I so love those.

I had no idea they would be so fun to make.

Sew... back to the sewing of the day.

Decided to do this little project I've been leaving undone now for, well, 2.5 years? 3.5 years? 

Oh, I can't remember. 

It's the second half of a charm pack of Peace on Earth by 3 Sisters for Moda. 

This fabric line was an early love of mine for its Christmas but not-too-Christmas-to-be-left-out-all-year prints.

  

The backing and binding are the same red tone-on-tone floral.

Simple echo quilting straight down the runner.

This one is long and skinny. 

In the shop.

Much Requested

It's finally available after many, many, many, many requests. :)

You can find it in the shop. 

P.S. I went to Quilt Festival this weekend, drug two (actually well-behaved) children in a double stroller through it, spent more than I should have, and definitely want to quilt my brains out now. Prepare yourselves for coming posts... hehe.

The logic pattern

I was flipping through a craft magazine that was STUFFED to overflowing with Christmas crafts. By the end of it, I was humming Christmas songs and driving my husband crazy.

So I immediately had to make something Christmas-ish.

Voila - table runner from Harmony by Jan Patek for Moda.

I had lots of fun with the quilting too - (see the shop for more pics.)

Then it occurred to me I was skipping some holidays - Halloween's in 2 months!

So logically (don't laugh, there really was so logic here)

I made this appliqued pumpkins table runner (Pumpkins Gone Wild by Sandy Gervais for Moda) and LOVE the applique!

And LOGICALLY, I needed to make some coasters...

Now they are all in the shop and at least there's a reason behind the randomness of my sewing... now for fall/thanksgiving stuff!
