I have decided to show you a few more Christmas quilts and wallhangings that
are hanging out at my house. Some of these are quite old but I still love them anyways.
One of my first quilts
This wallhanging is a panel that I found, it must be at least 10 years old.
I hand quilted it and added the red binding to finish it off.
another older wallhanging
This pattern is one of Thimbleberries, I think.
I changed it up a bit and added the embroidered
snowman in the middle. Usually, it is quite the
conversation piece, due to what is written in the middle,
by the snowman.

I couldn’t resist stitching the “flakes” into the top too.
Everyone gets a chuckle out of it.
Recent wallhanging
This is a recent wallhanging that I completed this year.
The pattern has been around for a long time but I
didn’t like how it hung on the wall-too stiff and wavy for me.
I had used an ultra Heat and Bond and I didn’t like the finished product.
My sister gladly took it off my hands for me.
Here are some of the embellishments that I really like:
crocheted snowflakes
I love snowflakes and so I had to crochet some and put on
the wallhanging. A bit of silver metallic bits and crystals help
the snowflakes to shine.
jingle bells
The horse needed some bells on his neck.
owl and snowman
And the snowman needed a hat and mittens, as well as an owl for
company.

And what front door doesn’t need a wreath and shrubs by the front door.
I had fun with the embellishments.
One thing I wanted to ask everyone though, what do you think of the
Go Cutters? I am seriously thinking I may purchase one but am trying
to work out all the pros and cons. Any opinions? Does anyone have one?
Do you think that it is worth the price? And why?
Have a great week.

Stitching Impressions 
I just made that first one for my sis in law for christmas
I have the top panel in my stash and I fear mine is more than ten years old.
HI Kate,
Thanks for checking out my blog. You will have to finish your panel too. It does look nice when it is all done.

I don’t have a Go cutter but my friend and I were discussing it. I suppose it’s great for squares and other things but exactly how many circle quilts will you use? I guess it depends on the dye cutters you buy.
I haven’t heard much in the blog world lately about anyone that has one, won one or uses one as to whether or not they still use them.
All of your Christmas projects are lovely. I made the “Flakes” stitchery into a banner my front door. It’s a good one. Really like the idea of embellishing with crocheted snow flakes.
Love all your Christmas “stuff”. Isn’t it fun to get it all out every year? I have quite a few pieces, maybe I’ll stop making them, or give some away. Every surface is covered!
What lovely Christmas hangings! Love all your embellishments!
I don’t have a Go! cutter – and have friends who have bought Sizzix machine that can use either Sizzix or Go! dies – cheaper and more versatile if you papercraft too.
I love the over the river hanging!
Such fun and beautiful colors!
Oh so very festive…love them all!
I have the baby go cutter. I bought it off the Shopping Channel in Canada. I don’t remember what I paid but it was a very good price. It came with 2 dyes as well. They are really fast at cutting out shapes like apple cores and tumblers. If I was cutting strips or squares I would use my ruler and rotary cutter. I think they are great for people who have trouble cutting. You must follow directions or you may stretch the fabric and distort the shape. They had released some new dyes that look great.
Love the ‘flakes’! LOL! I don’t have a Go Cutter either. I don’t do much appliqué or fussy cutting, which I think is what they are most useful for.
Great for cutting certain shapes, but you’ll need to keep cutting dies to make different thing. I wouldn’t use it enough to warrant the cost. JMO. Love your Christmas wall hangings.
