My newest design is quilted and bound!
Thank you again Alice for doing yet another magnificent custom quilting job!
I'll be spending most of today writing up the instructions and depending how quickly I can write, I'm hoping to have the pattern available for purchase in my Etsy shop by the end of the week...or sooner!
The wallhanging-sized quit measures 42" x 32" and combines my three most favorite elements...piecing, stitching and wool applique. The snowman theme will allow for it to be on display for the entire winter...or longer!
I used a light blue variegated DMC floss which made the photography a bit tricky so I've included a few closeups.
To celebrate the launching of my second "quilt pattern for sale", Darlene from A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop has generously donated a "gathering" of enough fabrics to complete the quilt top to be offered as a giveaway right here!
I don't know if you all noticed but I too have succumbed to the Facebook thing. You can link to my page from the sidebar here on my blog or HERE.
To qualify for the giveaway which will include the bundle of Snowman Gatherings fabrics and a copy of my Snow Days pattern...
1. Just leave a comment at the end of this post for one entry.
The next two are optional, of course...
2. "Like" my Facebook page for a second entry...and
3. Leave a short comment on the give away post on my Facebook page for a third entry.
Easy-peasy!
The giveaway is open to everyone from far and wide! Let's have some fun!
I'll announce the winner on Wednesday, January 22nd.
Guess I'd better get moving on writing up the pattern, huh?
Happy stitching!
