I was able to accomplish my 20th finished quilt for 2019 this weekend, which is very satisfying! Here I am hand stitching the binding on Slow Sunday Stitching while watching Arthur Christmas on my laptop. It was such a fun movie and I was delighted with the Toronto reference (which is close to where I live). The dialogue said "Santas always come through Canada. Nobody lives there. It's nice and quiet!"
LOL... I live here and it's not quiet at all!
Today there is a finished miniature quilt on the design wall ... a "Temecula Tiny Tree". Quilting was simple... straight lines through the tree in green thread, and quilted lines parallel to the tree in neutral thread in the background. So cute, and a perfect way to end the year!
I have also been catching up with the Quiltville mystery.
Here is the container full of parts and pieces sewn so far.
Step #4 was a big mess for me. I forgot that I had made colour substitutions from Bonnie's original colours. I substituted pink for aqua, and then started using my light blue for aqua. Wrong!
I'm blaming the craziness of Christmas chaos.
Beautifully organized WRONG pieces! |
Linking up to Small Quilts.

ReplyDeleteWow, 20 quilts finished! You had a very productive year. Your tiny tree is super cute and could easily be used all winter :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had enough fabric for you Oops!
ReplyDeleteHaving relatives in Canada where we have frequently visited, I know there are some people living there. :)
ReplyDeleteLove that little tree. So cute.
Maybe you will have created a whole new design with your shifting of color placement in Bonnie's mystery.
Catching up on my blog stalking and reading...surprise Clue #6 went up on the blog this morning. Guess I know what you will be doing so you will be ready for clue #7 on friday. I fell behind a bit and hope to remedy that this afternoon!
