Quilt Stacks

Gosh, this past week has been a whirlwind! It seems that every single day has been go-go-go! Very little - actually, I cannot say there was ANY - sewing going on, much to my chagrin.

One bit of an accomplishment includes getting some Christmas out and placed around the house. In recent years a favorite little nod to my craft has been stacking red and white quilt tops on this bucket bench. Maybe 2024 will be the year that some or all of these finally get quilted. *sigh*

Here are links to the quilts in the stack. 1 - Red and White Ohio Stars 2- Red and White Stars 3- Confetti Stars 4 - French General Stars 5 - Scrappy 4-Patch

One quilt that is actually finished is Alpine which I've draped over the back of a chair next to the Christmas tree (which will be shown when it's fully decorated). I can't let myself get too discouraged with my longarm progress; I started and finished Alpine all in the same year! This year, in fact, so I have to believe that at some point, all the quilt tops will see a finish. *grin*

Short and sweet today, Peeps! We are getting ready to go to Columbus for a Christmas concert at Capital University. My cousin's youngest son will be performing!

Happy Quilting, Friends!

Christmas Eve

The big day is almost here! It seems like a good time to share some of my Christmas quilts - quilt tops, mostly.

Red and White Ohio Star

Eventide made with Roman Holiday

Winter Lily

Red and White Sampler

Stars and Stepping Stones

Red and White Double Irish Chain

You can see that if it's red and white, then I consider it a Christmas quilt. Ah, so I do. 

Perhaps by next Christmas, a few of these flimsies will be quilted? I really ought to make that a goal for next year.

Have a lovely, peaceful, and calm Christmas Eve evening.

Happy Quilting, Friends!

Red and White Quilts

This may or may not be a rerun post of quilts I put out each December for Christmas. I could go back to see my old posts, but who doesn't love to look at a stack of quilts, especially those that are red and white!?

It's a no-brainer, isn't it?

At the foot of our steps sits this narrow bucket bench. I don't change items on the bench ever - except at Christmas time. Because I have such a pretty collection of red and white quilt tops, I love to bring them out each December just to help out with Christmas decorating. What a great excuse to bring them out of the closet and into something of a "limelight." 

To see each quilt fully laid out click this link - I did go find a previous post. 

Or you could look at them in order from top to bottom here:

Chock Full of Charms

Stars and Stepping Stones - my design

Thimbleberries Christmas Confetti

Thimbleberries Hourglass Quilt

Red and White Ohio Star - my design

Jacob's Ladder - my design

I have probably said in previous posts that I want to get busy with quilting these, and all the other flimsies filling my closets. I am getting more and more comfortable with the long arm machine, and I am getting closer each week to dedicating more time to doing this quilting. I'm on the cusp...I really am.

 

Hope you are all having fun with Christmas preparations!

Happy Quilting, Friends!
