The last Sew-Along that Kim Hensley and I sewed for our
11th Sewcial Distance quilting was in September, 2024
but, its my last finish for 2024.
Kim and I love Christmas quilts
and this EVERGREEN Pattern by Cluck, Cluck Sew
was perfect.
I had lots of scraps to use from SWELL Christmas.
We broke it down into 4 weeks and
asked folks to join in. And one of the other
KWILTY GIRLS, Lucinda, did just that
using her scraps.
Kim used a FLURRY Layer Cake by Kate Spain
WEEK ONE
We picked our fabrics and cut the pattern pieces.
I had lots of scraps to use.
I didn't need the mini charms....
sew that'll be something for next year.
WEEK TWO
We sewed the Tree Blocks
WEEK THREE
We sewed the Chain Blocks
I used my Vintage Santa for the center pieces
on the chain blocks.
Santa gives the eyes a place to rest.
And these vintage feeling beauties were ready fir the block settings
Even the whites I used fir background
Were all scraps from my stash,
I love to use block design boards
to layer all the blocks one on top the other.
After chain piecing the units
I paid attention to how the pattern suggested pressing.
Soon all the blocks were in the design wall.
This pattern is sew quick and easy!
And then there was decisions for backing.
Inkwell, seem just right
This was also in my stash.
I am a firm believer that your mind will pick fabrics
that go with fabrics you already have.
This right here is proof!
Then a decision for binding.
I had enough of the red vintage Santa…or
I could use this poinsettia print …Or
But wait…so far everything in the top is scraps.
I want a scrappy binding !
Sew here is my finished top.
And this is Kim's quilt top!
And this is Lucinda's quilt all finished and
Hanging I. Her home for Christmas.
Kim Hensley aka Happily Every Quilting has quilted my quilt.
Feilz Navidad is an E2 E design.
I'm taking this one to the beach fir Christmas and will hand-sew down the binding.
Then a great photo shoot with the beachy Christmas vibes!
Feliz Navidad!
Merry Christmas !
