Another Finish: Victorian Santa

 Hello Everyone!

As I mentioned in my previous post, my next project was going to be a Santa.  Well, I worked on him.  Here he is "built" and finally clothed a bit:


He's fairly large at 22" (55.88cm).  The kit came with everything except the material for the gown and coat.  I chose silver and purple, partially because the accent pieces would go with those colors and I didn't have a Santa dressed in purple in my collection.

Here is the completed Santa:


Behind him, you can see a few of the other Santas in my collection.  I've got my Christmas decorations up already.  It's early, even for me, but...2020.  'Nuff said.

Here are a couple of my trees.  The first one is in our living/dining room.



The second tree is in my sewing room/office.  It's decorated in...Santas!











My next project, which I've already started, is a Christmas wall hanging quilt.  Hopefully, I'll have it finished before November 27th when Bonnie Hunter's new mystery quilt starts.

Happy Stitching!

Hello Everyone!

While 2020 has been a bad year in many ways, at least I'm getting projects done!

My most recent start and finish is called Spin City and it is a small wall quilt.  The quilt measures 31" square.

I used (2) 5" charm packs from this fabric line:


This was the first time that I actually used any of my precut collections!  I felt sort of guilty for even opening one up, so I chose one of my least favorite sets.  ;-)

The binding (and backing) are a Moda marble fabric that I already had.  The small inner border was just another fabric from my stash.

The pattern, Spin City, is from this book (Kindle and paperback versions):
