Holiday Goings On

Channelling Panels

My LQS owner asked me to quilt up a new Christmas panel by Nancy Halvorsen, but you know I couldn't just quilt it and bind it, I had to put a nice little border treatment on it!

Xmasbanner Super simple little border, a couple of FQs and some red to match the panel and you are good to go.

But know that I am quilting it, let me share one word of advice.....when you do a piano key border, stay-stitch the outside edge of the border to keep it from going all pyscho on you.....believe me, I learn everything the hard way....need I say more?

And speaking of pyscho....I was in Macy's yesterday and they had the Christmas displays up already!!!!!   Please, Mr Macy, I'm trying to get Halloween decorations up, don't get me all confused.

Hugs and Stitches!

Look what got done!!!

One of the little ones was home sick yesterday....the errands had to wait.  So I was able to finish the Tree top.

Treetop
This was really quick and I especially like that not one fabric was purchased for this quilt!  It takes 30 fat quarters or similar sized pieces---and surprisingly, no visible difference is detected in the stash. 

And I got a sneak peek from "She Who Made Me Do This" and hers is way different from mine and BEAUTIFUL.  It's very interesting to see a totally stash quilt....and even through we all shop at similar places, our stashes are so very different......thank goodness!

The little one is home again today, let's see what trouble I can get into....

Hugs and Stitches!
