2015 Christmas Challenge

Every year at our Christmas party we get a fat quarter that we are to make up into something quilty and we keep it a secret until our July quilt show.  We take great pains to keep it a secret until after the show.  I tried trapunto for the first time.  the challenge fabric is the boarder fabric and i used some in each of the little blocks.  11 X 17   I did mine right after the Christmas party that so i didn't have to think about it for 7 months, besides I had an idea for a challenge no matter what the fabric looked like. Finished Dec 2015 for the 2016 quilt show.

Mug Rugs.

In 2015 one of our group projects were to make Mug Rugs.  I had a great time with them.  Several went to the ladies at the County Treasures office whom I work with during my tax season (I'm the town treasurer) one for my sister Linda and we did an exchange at our Christmas party.  They are quick to make and lots of fun.  December 2015

FROM OUR OUSE TO YOURS

This is a gift for my friend Olivia in Ireland, it was a lot of cut outs and heat and bond, then quilted down.  Its a wall hanging.  The blue house is Olivia's (her house is actually blue) and the red one is ours and ours is a reddish brown.  This was a Christmas gift to her.
