Christmas Blessings now quilted.

Last week I picked up my first design Blessed Christmas up from having it quilted. My friend Val has a a longarm machine. Thank you Val you have done such an amazing job of quilting it for me. I thought I would share some photo's with you.



I just LOVE this little fella !

This is it hanging in the shop.
So exciting seeing how it has come to life  with her quilting. I hand stitched the binding down in the car as Terry drove us from Adelaide to Melbourne for AQC ( Australasian Quilt Convention ). We had a stand there for our shop Patchwork By Sea. It was a bit surreal having it hanging on the stand and listen to ladies saying how nice it was.

Unfortunately we did not get the pattern written for my second design. Disappointingly we just ran out of time. Such a big job packing up the stock for a show. I am crossing my fingers that it will be done so that I can have it at the Perth Craft & Quilt Fair next month as a new release. I am thinking of making it in a second colour way using bright colours, well bright for me! My daughter tell's me the first one is so typically me !!.

Hope you are finding time to stitch where ever you are.
