Getting Closer to Christmas…

Hoping that you are getting prepared for the big day next week. I still have

wrapping and cookie baking to do. What about you?

It is nice when everything is done and you can sit back, for a while anyways,

and enjoy the celebrations. I am planning on being better prepared next year.

This is a quilt that Figo, a modern branch of Northcott, released in their Fall, 2020, digital line. It is very

colorful and bright, perfect for this time of the year.

Another quilt of Figo’s Fall, 2020, digital fabric release. Love the blue backing on this quilt.

I love the feather wreath on this quilt. It is so traditional but I love it. You really can’t see it that much on the

front of the quilt but it certainly stands out on the back.

I like the colors of this quilt too. Circles were stitched in to help add some movement to the straight lines

of the piecing.

And lastly, another Figo quilt. The subtle wavy line does add lots of movement to the quilt top.

Hope you enjoyed the show. Stay safe and see you next week.

More Quilt Photos…

Here are more photos of quilts that I completed in the fall.

This is Anita’s quilt. Isn’t it beautiful? I love the colors and the fabrics. And I love the feather wreath in the

small squares. Anita wanted feathers on her quilt. That proved to be a little challenging in that all the blocks

are the same size on the outer side of the blocks but in the middle of the blocks, they are all different

sizes. I did manage to quilt in feathers outside of each block. They do look similar but are different sizes.

It works though.

Here are more of the quilts that Northcott recently released. I love the trees and the leaves in each of these

panels.

More of Northcotts’ new fabric line. This quilt is made of wool and is really nice to quilt. You have to be

careful that it doesn’t stretch on you while you have it on the frame though. The quilting really stands out

too but try not to make a mistake because having to take stitches out does leave a bit of a memory in the

fabric.

Joan makes all these scrappy quilts that she donates to various charities. She is such a generous person and

fast quilter. Did I mention that she is also in her 70’s or 80’s? Wow! Hoping that I am that creative when I

reach that stage in my life.

Hope you enjoyed the quilt show. Only 23 days till Christmas. Please don’t hate me for reminding you

of this.

Have a good week.
