Winter IS Coming… And so are the holidays!

It’s inevitable so don’t shoot the messenger here… at least it’s not Christmas in July, I did wait till August! :)  I wanted to thank everyone for their nice emails and comments on my tutorials ~ it’s great to get feedback and hear from fellow quilters!

Earlier this summer I was busy working on this little holiday project for The Festival of Quilts. The festival is held in Birmingham, England, and I made this mini-quilt for the Warm Company’s booth to promote their fusible fleece.

All the applique is either quilting cotton or wool…

  3. Very cute design, congratulations of having it printed to shar with us.

    I’m busy with a couple of wool projects but plan to make this one day.

  9. What a great design! Love the cute little flying geese. Have fun at the festival.
    PS- I am a big fan of GOT too! I did not like this last season as much, straying from the books more and more now.
